UNEXPECTED at Summer-Sounds-Festival

Under the slogan “Unexpected (ex)change – start with a question!” Bremer Jugendring together with ServiceBureau Jugendinformation and Johanniter Bremen encouraged 16 young people from different countries (Russia, Ukraine, France, Spain, Afghanistan, Germany, …) to realise own ideas, ask questions and get the visitors of the “Summer-Sounds-Festival” in Bremen Neustadt through self-created methods into conversation.

The young participants of an international workcamp in Bremen and other youths who have already lived in Bremen for some time now had one long afternoon to get to know each other more. After that, three intensive days of preparation of the festival activities followed. The international group brainstormed and crafted together. Almost every idea was made a reality.

The outcomes were diverse and creative methods that brought visitors in the “World-Camp”-yurt during the festival into discussing many different topics. Visitors could have a blind date to learn about interests and societal questions of an unknown other, world maps were turned around and filled with personal memories of international encounters, books invited guests to read personal stories and share their own thoughts, balloons waited for being popped because they were filled with questions and interesting facts, a sealed box collected secrets. Suddenly even the sun came up! Thanks to all creative participants!
