In the afternoon we will gather for the workshop sessions. You will be hosted by an experienced team of Open Space practitioners who will use this self-organizing social technology to rapidly co-ordinate a simple schedule of workshops and activities for the duration of the afternoon. These will take place all over the seminar and there is no limit to what can happen! You are encouraged to take part either as a host or participant in this session, so if you have your own initiative or project you want to share with the group then this is the time and place for you to do it! Your offering can be as simple as a game of hacky-sack in the sunshine or as complex as building a new sustainable energy system for the whole community!

For those who wish to offer initiatives, the space is open! send your ideas to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

We are excited to announce that Raphael, a Palestinian Story teller will collaborate with Tina, a Swedish story teller at Sense Festival. These two weavers of words will join forces to lead interactive creative workshops in story telling. This will culminate in a visual story which will be painted on the story telling tippie throughout the festival. We are enthusiastic to see what happens in these amazing five days so get your wild words and colorful paints ready.
