Due to popular demand, the Small is… Festival is back and will be held on the 4th and 5th of September 2010.

We hope to recreate the wonderful participatory feel of last year, including the fun but productive atmosphere, the open debates, the lively networking and exchange sessions, and the international feel – but with local food and hospitality very evident.

However, the festival will be bigger and better this year, with increased opportunties to get involved, get debating, get sharing, and have a great time! With hands-on workshops, stalls and information sharing spaces, kids activities and great world music, there is something for everyone!

We will be part of a new ‘green zone’ which brings together all the environmental organisations featured in the G Source exhibition tent.

CEL is taking the lead in this area which we will have a display alongside them, A Rocha, Ecocongregation, the Quakers, and others.

If could you spare us some time to help staff it you can sign up for just one two-hour slot, but if you can spare more it would be a great help.
