UKEN IS HIRING FOR THE FOURTH TIME!
ABOUT UKEN 24 The UKEN festival in Bergen is one of the largest cultural festivals in Vestland and is exclusively organized by students in Bergen. The festival itself takes place in March 2024, but the work is already well underway. The UKEN festival, and especially the work leading up to it, will undoubtedly be the most fun, biggest, and most memorable thing you will do during your time as a student here in Bergen. Here, you will make connections across different classes and study programs, experience responsibility, gain a plethora of valuable experiences, and perhaps most importantly – have an incredibly amazing time! The heart of it all is the UKErevyen. With traditions dating back to 1946, it can boast of having given many familiar faces their first time on stage and has also won several prizes in the National Championship in Student Revue – most recently in October 2022! In addition to the revue, UKEN offers everything from large to small concerts, world record attempts, Children and Elderly Days, and much, much more! Among the artists who have previously visited UKEN, you'll find 50 Cent, Karpe, Backstreet Boys, and Kygo. The magical atmosphere that arises when some of the world's biggest stars take the stage is indescribable, both for guests and fUKENtionaries. With all that said, we must still mention that what truly makes UKEN something very special is the breadth and unity that emerges during UKEN. There are tasks for every taste here, and we can guarantee you both memories and friends for life. Now, UKEN 24 is hiring for the third time, and this is something you really don't want to miss out on. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. Apply for UKEN!
GREETINGS FROM THE LEADER OF UKEN Dear fellow student! UKEN is set to grow one last time before UKEN 24 kicks off. After the final round of hirings, we'll be a team of over 1000 volunteers, creating the best festival of all time! Now, you have one last chance to leave your mark on the largest studentdriven cultural festival on the West Coast! The final sprint before UKEN must be experienced to truly be the highlight. You'll make acquaintances with a multitude of people, participate in UKEcruise and program launches, and contribute significantly to the practical organization of the festival—all within just a couple of months. If you forgot to apply earlier, you now have a new opportunity to make your university experience even more memorable!
If you join, I can guarantee that UKEN 24 will provide you with invaluable knowledge, a multitude of friends from various schools and faculties, and, of course, immense amounts of UKEjoy. It's not without reason that former UKEN volunteers come back year after year to experience the best that Bergen has to offer! Still on the fence? Send me a message, and we can have a chat!
No prior knowledge is required to join UKEN. It's all about enthusiasm and passion. There's room for everyone here! Whether you prefer being behind the bar or in front of it, there's something for you. A new offer this year is the option to submit an open application. UKEN has a lot to offer, and if you want to join but are unsure about how everything fits together, or if you simply want to be part of it regardless of the role, send an open application! You'll be placed based on the festival's needs. Never before has it been easier to join the fun!
