Gettin' Green and Ecotopical
Where: Slovakia
Feeling all environmental and activist-like this month? Then your summer holiday should be in Slovakia, at the Ecotopia festival. The 6-20 August camp for those interested in alternative lifestyles, traditional crafts and permaculture is being held this year in Zajezka, pretty much smack bang in the middle of the Slovak Republic.
Along with enjoying a really green (in both senses) holiday in the mountains, the workshops attached to this fest sound impressive: Activist samba drumming, rebel clowning and large costume making are all featured in the program. We suspect the rebel clowns are the rejects from the Bestival fest in the UK, where the organizers were forced to change the fancy dress theme thanks to the high rate of those with a clown phobia. Hopefully the Ecotopia planners have already checked into possible protests from samba drumming phobics.
