Comprised of people of all backgrounds, ethnicities and lifestyles, there were a staggering total of 2,558 registered volunteers on the TeamKinetic Eurovision site. Eurovision could access information regarding volunteers\u2019 language capabilities, accessibility needs and personal skills to form a diverse, inclusive volunteer group. With the help of TeamKinetic, Eurovision achieved its ambition of blending local volunteers with volunteers who had knowledge of the Ukrainian culture and language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eurovision events took place across multiple Liverpool locations. Therefore, Eurovision sought a platform that could engage with and manage volunteers who were travelling from near and far for a spectacular series of events. Volunteers were posted across Liverpool&#8217;s city centre, at transport hubs, the Eurovision Village on the Pier Head, and at the Tourist Information Centre in Liverpool ONE. Duties included scanning tickets, meeting and greeting visitors and welcoming performers to backstage areas in the Eurovision Village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There were an astounding 11,547 volunteering hours logged on Eurovision\u2019s TeamKinetic system; that\u2019s over 480 days worth of volunteering! 1 year of planning for more than 1 year of volunteering hours seems justified!
