Monday's meeting

It is nice to work with people who have different points of view, ways to think, backgrounds, maturity, skepitisism... It is what makes this project so interesting: diversity.

The yesterday meeting saw a new big step in the making of the festival.
First of all, we almost know for sure where and when the festival will take place. Stadshallen in Stortorget seems to be the most strategical place in Lund. Annika, who has contact over there, have asked when a date would be available. The latest we can get is in the beginning of November, which is kind of early compare to our mid-december plans. However, this is the only solution, and everybody finally agreed on Friday the 3rd of November.
THE ISSUE: MONEY. Now we have to find 8500 SEK (approx 900 euros) just for the rental of the hall. Usch as we say in Sweden.

That's how we got into the second point: the sponsoring.
Marie had the brilliant idea of creating a portfolio where the project would be described in details as well as a first frame for the budget. We need to look serious and trustable over potential sponsors. So, right now, we are all working on the creation of this document.

Also, the questionnaire has been printed out and the survey has started. We are hoping to get results by the end of the week so we can start focusing on details.

Aaron has also joined us. His idea is to create an institution that would give the abilities to all the university bodies related to environment to join altogether. The idea is to create a common website or mailing group where everyone could collaborate, and also where other people could get into what's going on in sustainability in Lund. For him, it is also good to take the opportunity of our project for a first collaboration of this institution, and see how it works.

So, everything is going good. We are facing, as expected, time and money issues, but it wouldn't be as fun if we were not, don't you think so?

Announcement: if by any luck you are part of a company or an organization from Lund or Skåne, and you are willing to sponsor our project, or help in any kind of way, please contact us at this adress: make-change-happen-in-lund@googlegroups.com
