FAQ

You will receive our volunteer handbook by email in good time before the event. In it you will find all the detailed information and contact persons. If you already have urgent general questions, please send us an e-mail to volunteers@re-publica.com.

The applications for this are currently in progress - but we can't say anything more specific at the moment. In case re:publica 25 will be recognised as educational time, we will inform you on our channels.

However, this does not mean that educational leave is not possible. Just ask your employer; there are often special internal guidelines on this. Experience shows that some employers are willing to make arrangements due to the character of re:publica. You may also be granted leave without the event being officially certified.

In principle, it is not possible to have periods of work recognised as "Bildungurlaub/-zeit" (educational leave). However, the experience of some former volunteers shows that some employers are willing to make it possible, because of the educational nature of re:publica – so it's best to ask your employer directly.

Most likely we did not forget you. The shifts are allocated step-by-step. It is therefore possible that some volunteers receive their shift(s) earlier than others. If it is important for you to know your shift(s) by a certain date, please note this in the application form and let us know the date or send us an email at volunteers@re-publica.com

The most important thing is always to let us know as soon as possible so that we can plan accordingly. If you feel ill, please stay at home and let us know. Please note that a festival like re:publica is also exhausting on the days you are not volunteering. Therefore please only apply for one of the later shifts or for dismantling if you are confident that you will have enough energy left.

Yes, the volunteer intro meeting will take place on Sunday, 25 May 2025 in the early afternoon at STATION Berlin – more information will follow. It will last about 1.5 hours. Participation is voluntary, but highly recommended, as you can meet the re:publica team and your fellow volunteers and get to know the location.
In case your volunteer shift is before or during the intro meeting, you won't need the meeting :)

On our on-site page you will find information on DB event tickets and discount codes for travel and accommodation.

As a volunteer at re:publica, you will be on duty once for 8 or twice for 4 hours. You will help to realise the festival together with the re:publica crew and Crew Support and make it a great experience for everyone involved. You will have full access to re:publica and TINCON 25 in Berlin.

Please send us an e-mail at volunteers@re-publica.com, or browse the FAQ on our website!

In this case, please contact us immediately so that we can reschedule. It's always better to cancel than say nothing and then not show up!

As a volunteer, you are not insured by republica GmbH during the entire event, but by your own health insurance.
In the event of property damage during set-up or dismantling of the event, republica GmbH's liability insurance will come into effect.

Tickets for re:publica 25 cannot be refunded, but you can give your ticket to someone else - as long, as it is not personalized, yet.
