Besides the high-quality discussions on topical matters, this year the Nordic stage “Ziemeļsala” offers something completely new: a guided biodiversity walk through Cēsis, a buckwheat waffle tasting, a dialogue workshop with the DOTS Foundation. This year’s exhibition near the stage is provided Swedish Institute. The exhibition “Fashion Forever” complements the urgent topic of excess textile waste – covered in the panel discussion on the Nordic stage on the first day of the festival.
