Festival Cohabitat Gathering 2012

13‑14 October, 2012

I had the great pleasure to lead and co-organize a wonderful international festival – Cohabitat Gathering, as a volunteer for the Cohabitat Foundation. These were two days of meetings and lectures by experts and fascists of natural architecture, open-hardware machines, local autonomy, and the concept of community building. As a civilisation we are ready to give up outdated conceptions of development-for-development, we shall go further. We are able to create a healthy, comfy living space for all and retrieve the time for exploring the mystery of human being. The festival was a platform for those who feel this new quality and want to share it.

The festival was organized as part of the crowdfunding action at polakpotrafi.pl.
We collected 97 877.19 zł!
