Week 36 September 1-7

"Hacking at the branches of evil"

Smoke from the forest fire - Uppsala August 6, 2014.

Summary

In a world where certain human activities, in certain parts of the world are becomming more and more unsustainable, sustainability is everywhere, and for everyone. Under a green surface and sustainability speak, a deeper brown, grey and black can be found. Our challenge is to get to the bottom of things, challenge the obvious and be constantly creative, out-of-the-box and out of of the outside-inside-box paradigm. You can become the one who sees the things that noone sees, that does the work that noone does, and becomes the person that noone is. You can be the one striking at the root.

We have worked hard to create the best learning conditions for you. We have built the stage, written an open stoyline and will direct with plenty of room for improvisation. Now it's your time to enter the stage and play!
