Eurovision 2024: volunteers drop out over “security concerns”
We are just over a week before the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 kicks off in Malmö. The organization selected 600 volunteers to help during the event. Unfortunately, ten percent of the selected volunteers have decided to drop out.
Volunteers play an important role behind the scenes to ensure that all Eurovision-related activities are successful and work smoothly. The volunteer roles range from backstage staff to the well-being of hosts.
We make sure that everyone who works here is happy. We serve cakes and pastries from local bakeries. Everyone gets to taste Malmö and it’s one fantastic creation after another and that makes people so happy.
Volunteers drop out
As we have previously informed several artists who were supposed to perform at various events during the Eurovision week cancelled their plans in protest against the Israeli participation in the competition.
Further, 60 volunteers will not complete their assignments citing “personal reasons” among other justifications. It is possible that some volunteers did not get holidays at work as planned or that other things have gotten in the way. In addition to this, there is controversy surrounding this year’s Israeli participation.
Security concerns
In addition to the abovementioned reasons, volunteers are also affected by security concerns. The city of Malmö has prioritized security. There are security checks in place for entering the area.
It’s about communication, and who to contact. There are also training courses for everyone, and there is also a volunteer handbook where they can turn for updated information
