Influential speakers and creative innovators from around the world inspired and challenged us, interactive panels and hands-on workshops encouraged us to explore new ideas, and Lentil as Anything dished up magnificent food three times a day. Key note speakers included Bunker Roy and Father Bob.
The feature that helped set Link Festival apart from many other conferences was the strong focus on genuine connections, providing many opportunities to talk with the presenters and attendees. The atmosphere at every meal break was charged with the energy of enthusiastic change-makers enjoying great conversation and discussing big new ideas.
A special thanks goes to EWB&#;s community partners who travelled from around the world to be there. We had representatives from:- Community Housing Timor Leste- Kooma Traditional Owners Association Inc, Australia- Yorta Yorta Nation, Australia- RainWater Cambodia- Nepal Water for Health- waraj, India- EWB Sri Lanka
We’re sure that Link Festival has been the catalyst for new partnership and collaboration opportunities as well as many friendships. Thanks to everyone who helped to make it so fantastic!
