While talking to the journalist i realized how much we've been going through since our first notes in the white board. It was an interested flashback in my mind, a recollection of feelings, ideas, stress, hopes, happy moments... i remember myself writing everything down, names of people to contact, places to go to, shops to visit. i smile when i think about my fears when talking to people and ask for sponsorship.
There are still 2 days to go in the organization, and some more weeks to fix our budget afterwards, but i'd like to send a sincere warm thank you to all the people supporting the Making Change Happen Festival, and more specifically supporting us with money and helping hands and smiles.
The list of people to consider is long but i'll make a special effort to name our main sponsors one by one:
- LUMES-LUCSUS
- Lunds Kommun
- Kultur i Lund
- Mobility Management Department
- Musik i Syd
- Coop Konsum on Mårtenstorget
- Ramklints Konditori
- Mossagården
... and of course all the volunteer workers who are helping to make change happen on friday!
Don't forget to buy your ticket for the concerts at night in Stadshallen and http://www.ticnet.se !

2 days left!!!
Rush Rush Rush, we're in an exciting rush! 2 days left before the Festival and there are still things to organize!
Today we had an interview in Stasdhallen with a journalist from Skånska Dagbladet, regional newspaper, in order to present the project and hope to attract even more people to come on friday. The contact we think was good, and the journalist said our work was ambitious but great, something new happening in Lund. Expect to find also an article tomorrow or friday in the Sydsvenkan (an other regional newspaper), we got a phone interview yesterday while we were painting our posters!it's a good feeling to see that media are interested in our work, and we count of their articles to make people come both during the day and the concerts.
Internet is also an important tool. Mails have been sent to the main departments of Lund University and they are presented the Festival programme on their official webpages. Some musical websites are also advertising the event (Musik i Syd, Sydsvenska Dygnet Runt, DinDel).
And of course, posters and flyers will be distributed in town all day long, and people will be around to meet and discuss with the people.
Tomorrow we'll finally install the school projects, the posters and prepare the sound system in advance to be ready early on friday morning.
Yesterday we made some painting with Zeynep to prepare posters and have some time off from stress. These posters, painted with our hands and feets in LUMES (under the curious looks of students and teachers) will be set on the walls and the entrance of Stadshallen:

4 days left!
We've been working for months on the Making Change Happen project, and we're now experiencing the rush and stress of the last days before the event (only 4!!). Meetings, phone calls, hundreds of mails, there is no time anymore to rest, and so far we've been quite efficient. We solved the last technical details, and today we are going back to Stadshallen to check the place again with the help of the caretaker.
More last-minute news to come soon!!

Yes! Things are going faster each day... We have 3 weeks left to the Festival, but the progress we are showing is absolutely unbelievable. It makes each one of us feel more happy and energetic! The latest update is from our school Lund University's web page, you can check it out from www.lucsus.lu.se The Festival arena, Stadshallen in Lund has started selling tickets for students for 80 SEK to see the bands and artists from 18.00 to 23.45. Otherwise you can buy adult and 5-15 years old tickets from www.ticnet.se I think this is enough of commercialism. The Festival starts at 09.30 in the morning and presents school projects, panel discussions, movies and music with efficient amount of drinks, sandwiches during the day are going to be supplemented as well. One very good news is Tommy Adolfsson is coming from Stockholm to play (conch blower) wonderful shell music. Check him out from www.myspace.com/tommyadolfsson You will not regret it! This is all from small updates of our portfolio.
The last details...
No time to update this blog...
Still, things are moving fast and efficiently. So far, everything is working out: money, bands, projects, people participating etc.
We are now entering the details part. How to organize the space available at StadsHallen, how to organize the help from our fellow students, who will be in charge of what, how to transport the material, how we'll make the coffee, where to order the drinks, who is gonna clean, are just few examples of the thousand of questions we need to answer now. This is so exciting ! Last week was kind of strange for us, lots of tensions and negative feelings. But this week, the energy is back! We stayed late at night on Monday to chat and work.
So far I think I can give some updates and give you things to check out:
The tickets for the concerts are on sell. They can be purchased at ticnet.se or at Satdshallen. NB: students'tickets are only available at StadsHallen! We also have all the bands confirmed:
* Environmental 6
* Sofi Hellborg Gang
* Lena Måndotter & Skin to Skin
* Hojfen Balagan
* ElleSka
* Härr Gårman
* Max Somah Band
* Skogsfolket
* Songt theater SelahNoah
* Arons Shoug Öhman
The school projects are also providing me a lot of fun. One of the student, Hannes, has worked hard with Photoshop to create different pictures. Very provocating! We are thinking of using this one as flyers:
