Do you know your competencies?
When in doubt, talk to the festival crew. They either know the answer or know someone who knows it. Photo by Noemi Kapusy
For NGOs: Guests often cannot differentiate between the festival’s staff and the NGOs’ staff. If someone approaches you with a question that is outside your NGO expertise, refer them to the info points on the festival site. Don’t give them information unless you’re 100% sure it’s correct – otherwise it might cause confusion. Festivals should have implemented structures to answer any questions the visitors might have.
For festivals: Tell NGOs where guests can find information (info points, official festival crews, apps, websites, telephone numbers). Creating an FAQ sheet / hand-out guide could come in handy.

Information can also be arranged alphabetically, like Summer Breeze Open Air does on their website (please note that it’s only alphabetical in the original German version :)):
