A festival for children

-
What did you organize, when, where and for how many people?
On the Children's Festival Komálom Festival in Komárno (Komárom) on May 27 we organized programs for children. We made different programs for which different number of participants were ideal. Our complementary offer was a fairytale haircut of the girls and turning boys into pirates.


What were the main goals and objectives of the activity?
The main purpose of the activities was to entertain children, to draw their attention to human actions which degrade the environment and the ways we can avoid them, and to learn some self-awareness.

What were the main outcomes and results of the activity?
We were planning to implement all the programs, but unfortunately the focus was on other activities. We used some of them, according to demand and age group.


Are there any other relevant aspects related to the activity, a conclusion or future plan?
The audience of the childhood festival was younger than we had expected, so we had to be very flexible with our programs. We held activities at a festival like this for the first time, so we learned a lot from our experiences. If there will be next time, we will be able to prepare better for the situation and will not introduce ourselves to the unknown.
Location: Komárom, Szlovákia

What you organized, when, where and for how many people? We planned to organize a local swapshop and charity-bank kind of activity in our home town, Pécs. We started with a meetup for some likeminded people (an informal group called Pécsi Zöld Fórum) in May where about 20 people showed up and exchanged ideas in open space. 2 ideas came out as favourites, one of them the swapshop activity, which was then discussed in a smaller group, facilitated by me. What were the main goals and objectives of the activity? Providing a platform for like-minded locals to give away or swap surplus goods (from used household items to hand-made things or homestead products) where your time and skills can also be offered in exchange for items. The activity helps waste-reduction by reusing and shows a positive example of how to control consumption. What were the main outcomes and results of the activity? The small group came up with interesting ideas, we actually started swapping in th

What you organized, when, where and for how many people? I facilitated the Critical Mass Oviedo (June). This activity takes place every month, coinciding with the critical mass worldwide. Also, apart from the bike ride through the city, a documentary about the first Critical Mass was screened. It was held on Friday, June 1, in Oviedo and approximately 20 people attended.  What were the main goals and objectives of the activity? Since its inception, the purpose of the critical mass is to publicize the great advantages a greater presence of bicycles can bring in cities to mobility, society and the individual, to reduce the nuisance caused by motorized traffic: noise, pollution, traffic jams, insecurity. The idea was to raise awareness that those of us who travel by bicycle do not block traffic, we are traffic.  What were the main outcomes and results of the activity? The activity was very positive. After the documentary, there was a debate about what it means to be a cycli
