Nyílt tér (Open Space) at Gyüttment Fesztivál

-


What you organized, when, where and for how many people?
I helped with the organization of Gyüttment Fesztivál, where I was the host of the Nyílt tér (Open Space) between 24th and 27th of August, in Zebegény. There were 10 sessions, and all in all around 200-250 people participated in them. The sessions were with different topics, for example raw vegan food, traditional handicraft, low-budget living in the countryside, veganism, alternative social systems, etc.

What were the main goals and objectives of the activity?
The main goal was to give space for different topics and people on the festival who didn't fit into the sessions of other spaces, but the people coming were curious about them. They could vote on Facebook and the most popular 10 topics, the winners could have their own session during the festival.

What were the main outcomes and results of the activity?
There are no concrete outcomes yet but more than 200 people participated the different sessions, getting to know the different topics, asking questions and having conversations afterwards.

Are there any other relevant aspects related to the activity, a conclusion or future plan?
The main conclusion was that there are some topics that visitors of the festival were really curious about, and that brought people interested in the same topic together, so it'd be a good idea to have the Nyílt tér/Open Space during the festival next year as well.
Location: Zebegény, 2627 Magyarország

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? We oranized a permaculture workshop about sharing knowledge and experience and go through the permaculture design process in a group and was facilitating to design a veggie garden together. It was held in Etyeki Szatyor headquarters for 15 people in the town of Etyek on the 16th of January, 2019.  What were the main goals and objectives of the activity?
