Information about the panel
Ronde Kamer – thur jan 10 – 16.30h (60 min)
Small cities for a couple of days. Festival camping is a challenge. How do organisers deal best with people behaving between anarchy and holiday? Are there ways to make them act greener and not to leave behind tons of outdoor gear? What are the reasons for such a behaviour and what can be done? We will try to find them.
