The culture companionship is designed to help anyone who has a high threshold for attending cultural events, who does not enjoy going to events alone or who finds it difficult to do so. As a volunteer culture companion, you accompany others to cultural experiences, book tickets and assist or guide them to the event venue, if needed. For example, you might visit a theatre, a museum or a concert with someone.
The aim of the culture companion activities is to prevent and alleviate loneliness. The idea is for you to go to a cultural attraction together. The dates and times of events mostly depend on the venue. When it comes to museums, the volunteer can choose when to help, as not all requests are tied to a specific day or time.
