Become a volunteer!

Don’t just be a spectator.
Take part, create, and help shape the Bourges 2028 adventure alongside us.

Bourges will be the European Capital of Culture in 2028 – a prestigious title that places the entire region at the heart of a major European cultural celebration.
Events, creations, workshops, performances, encounters and artistic initiatives will unfold everywhere – in Bourges’ iconic venues, across its neighbourhoods, in surrounding villages, and throughout the Centre-Val de Loire region.

Citizen participation lies at the heart of this project: it’s not just about attending events, but about building them together.
Volunteering with Bourges 2028 is far more than simply lending a hand – it means contributing to a cultural project that transforms the region, strengthens social bonds, and gives everyone a voice.

Volunteering doesn’t require any specialised skills — all it takes is the desire to get involved, to listen, to contribute, and to share.
