What happens in between?

What is happening in the in-between-spaces at the festival? Between the sessions, topics, people, and places?

This year, we are collaborating with Bergen Facilitation Collective, who have designed a series of activities to support you to pause, sense, reflect, play, and learn - both on your own and alongside fellow festival goers. 

Together with you, we want to capture all the learnings and inspiration before they fade into our busy lives. We want to allow them to land and integrate, inform and build on each other, to weave a shared and embodied understanding of what is happening below the surface and what might grow out of it. The festival is a buzzing meeting place full of possibilities!

Some activities are open to explore when you find them in our spaces, and some are happening at a specific time and place. Join us in the in-between spaces at the festival!

What Brings You / What Stays With You
We are curious to get to know what brought you here and what you are taking with you. Meet us at the ticket office at the ground floor at Østre to contribute to the installations by adding a sticker, shape or note.

Interaction Table
This is the place you can come to engage with other people known or unknown. At a table in the café at Boksalongen you will find shapes and questions that help you build a conversation. A facilitator can also support you if you don’t know how to start or get stuck. 

Reflective Questions
Around the festival venues you will find simple questions to help you pause and reflect more for a deeper experience.

Meet-ups: Sensemaking Circles
On Thursday and Friday evening, we invite you to two meet-ups where you can digest what you have experienced in order to make sure that it can integrate and carry forward. This is the space to listen to what other people have experienced and sensing how that relates to you. ,
