The Mikser Festival is a major cultural exposition, featuring myriad music performances, art displays and exhibitions, plus workshops and seminars, which is held each year in Belgrade, Serbia.
This year’s event (2014) runs from June 5th until June 8th. On Friday, June 6th, at Hotel Bristol, Karadjordjeva 50, Belgrade, the Festival will play host to a Blue Green Dream Seminar/Creative Workshop.
The aim of this Workshop is to bring together pro-active, young and innovative professionals and citizens who are willing to team-up in order to save the planet from the negative impacts of Climate Change, weather extremes and the increased threat of natural disasters such as floods, droughts, storm surges, heat waves and landslides as well as urban problems such as noise, air pollution and loss of biodiversity.
Participants will receive an introduction to the BGD philosophy, learn about several test cases in which it has been implemented, create (design) and discuss some small scale solutions of their own and finally, identify ways in which they can be more actively engaged in future BGD activities.
Places are limited, hence in order to take part, please contact Maja Lalić – maja@mikser.rs
