🏢 About the local organisation
We are creating a festival with 500 festival guest per day, lasting six days and six nights. The festival concept is: build your own festival, enhancing learning, craft skills, cultural exchange and co-creation. Guests can choose to build their own projects or join projects. We provide free tools and materials for everyone. The festival will also feature live bands, DJIs, workshops and much more. Read more about the festival here: www.byggefest.dk The festival is part of a larger organisation called Grobund, which is an incentive taken by 160 adults to create a new eco-village and an entrepreneurial hub for green start-ups. Grobunds overall vision is to be free of financial dept, free of waste and living off-grid. Read more about the community here: www.grobund.org
