Small is... Festival 2010 12/02/2011
 
On the 3rd-5th September 2010 three members of EWB-GU made the journey down to Rugby for the Small Is... Festival 2010.

The festival, based on the book "Small is Beautiful" by Fritz Schumacher, ran for its second consecutive year in the grounds of interational development agency "Practical Action" who also co-ran the festival with EWB-UK.

The programme was jam packed with workshops, seminars and discussion groups, all kick started by an introduction from TV presenter, radio broadcaster and writer Adam Hart-Davis. The workshops ranged from a Perspectivity Game that introduces the social, economical and political challenges that hinder change to a workshop on how to make your own mud bricks or build your own solar PV system.

The evening entertaiment was also scheduled and enjoyed by all. Stay tuned for a more detailed description of the event by EWB-GU president Euan Muir. In the mean time, click on the photo to see more.
