Another world is possible! (Experience) utopias
31.5. - 2.6.2024 in Hanover
Another world is possible - but how? We cordially invite you to experience utopias with us from May 31st to June 2nd, 2024. Together we want to think about what the good life looks like for everyone and how a different world is possible. Every year, young people between the ages of 16 and 27 meet for the Ja!nun festival and spend a weekend together. This year you can expect numerous interactive workshops to develop your own utopia, as well as to try things out, network and get active. We want to deal with topics such as alternative forms of living, activism, agriculture and anti-capitalist ideas and thereby gain skills for our utopias. There is also a colorful supporting program with a film evening, campfire, circus, music and much more. We want to learn from and with each other, brainstorm ideas together or simply relax.
