• The dark side of passion, the BIG BAM ! | 15.30-18.30 | Dance Studio, Space 1
The cultural Vield always has a lack of people and a lack of money but not a lack of ambitions, dreams, inspiring ideas, social-cultural-community projects. We mostly realize these ideas because of the passion of devoted people (employed and volunteers). We go to the maximum to get all the things done. But all the things are never done; it is mostly too much work for too less people with not enough budget. Suddenly there is the BIG BAM for some of us (burnt-out, depression, escape in alcohol and drugs etcetera). How can we avoid this, what are the signals before the BIG BAM and how to get our friends back on track. Sharing of (own) experiences and learning lessons: Introduction, 3 subgroups of 7 people, report.
Facilitators : Geert van Itallie, René Penning and Gerard Lohuis.
