Survey

Time has been passing away so fast since the Festival, and we are now writing a report of our work, our expectations and the feedbacks we got so far from everyone.

If you feel like helping us, please answer the questions of our survey and i will publish a summary as soon as we are done with it. The survey page will remain open for a week only since we need the statistics for our final presentation. However it will be re-opened afterwards, feedbacks at any time are very welcome and useful for us!
Thank you!

Fruits of the MCH Preparations

I will never know, how time has passed?! I must admit, it has been a great challenge but a great success at the end. I am really thankful to my friends: Annika, Laurent, Marie, Filomena and Yo that have taken all my complaints, supported my ideas good/bad, giving me hugs every time I needed. It was extremely fabulous to work with you and manage a successful work after all. The more credit goes to the friends who helped us in the Festival arena, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Here are some memories from the day, sorry for the delay because we have been very busy with our Courses just after the Festival. More will come up later... Enjoy!

Day + 1, time to recover

Hello everyone!

it is difficult to say all the things we fell yesterday from 7 in the morning until 1 at night, so many feelings in one day, enough to sleep 24h afterwards...and it is actually what i did!

We just want to tell you all a big thank you for coming to the Festival yesterday, day & night, for your support, your help, your smiles, your words, it was fantastic, and we couldn't have made it without you!!

A big thank you also to all the speakers, shops and artists present this day, it was such a pleasure to welcome you!

It is also a pleasure and pride for us to see the feedbacks we got from the media who talked about the programme and came and interview us and visitors, and here are some articles you can find online:

- Sydsvenskan, "Festival för en bra framtid"

- Sydsvenskan, "Hållbar festival vill få oss att agera"

The Festival as an event is over, but there are still a lot to do to close the project, as least until next year!

Pictures to come soon, as much as more information about what's going to happen now of our Making Change Happen Festival!!

5:30 in Lund

At this time of the day, it is obvious, it is still dark, and it feels pretty lonely and cold in the middle of this darkness.

However!

A long day is waiting for us, and, though there is not so much left to prepare in Stadshallen, the day seems like a long challenge, even a battle, that we plan to win. After months of work we are reaching at last the day when this work will be judged by the unknown anonymous public.
Direction Stadshallen at 7 to finalize the place and the activities, sound and light checks, and door opening at 9:00.

At 9:15, our special guest Tommy Adolfsson, a wonderful conch blower, is going to open the Festival. After that we hope things are going to start living by themselves and that people will feel happy to join us.

- First steps of the day, Panel Discussions in English (9:30-11:30) and Swedish (12:30-14-30) and the challenge to produce enough coffee for everyone!
- Second steps, the activities that already started in the morning : LUMES presentations (environmental consultancy and tree planting), fair trade market, Workshsops, theatre, movie made by students, schoool exhibitions,....
- Third Step, the concerts between 18:00 and 24:00. For the programme please click here
- And Final step: cleaning!!!

:)

We wish you a pleasant day, and we're all looking forward to meeting you in Stadshallen. If you have any question and comment you want to address directly to us, you won't miss the organization team, we're all wearing the brown Tshirt with the official logo (pic in a previous article!)

Final Day!

Today was a long day. it's always the same when you organize a big thing, you always have to expect last minute troubles or fears. But still, everything went well and we evacuated some little stress.


We installed the rooms this afternoon. The teachers of the school helped us fixing the school exhibitions, and we really have to congratulate the kids and their teacher: what they did is wonderful! in Stadshallen you will find paintings, collages, recycling works, they were very creative and it's a pleasure for us, a reward for the last months of work.

We also would like to congratulate Sofi Hellborg who just got the Fellis-priset!! It will be a pleasure and an honour to have her playing tomorrow night for our Festival, don't miss her performance at 20:15 on the main stage !!

See the article that the Sydsvenkan wrote about it there !
