Hej, thanks for joining in the fun. Billund needs more FUN right? So let’s make it happen together and create our own Fun Palace. #FunPalaces is an international campaign to inspire people and communities to create our own culture, our own fun and show each other what makes us and our place unique. Billund is a weird, small, amazingly diverse and sometimes smelly kind of town. It is filled with hidden creativity, passions and lots of pizza. What makes Billund a great place to be? YOU do! Making a Fun Palace together is a way for us to have an event where we can share our skills and passions, meet and make new friends and create our own entertainment. Maybe you skateboard, play the kazoo, observe the stars, make edible art, invent machines. What would you like to share? What would you like to learn or experience? Fun Palaces are about joining in to do something different. They are inclusive, for everyone, all ages. It is what we make it – by us, for us, with our ideas of fun, culture and creativity. The 2020 international fun palace weekend is 3/4 October and Billund Fun Palace will be on Saturday 3 October, 12 – 16.00 at Billund Skolen.
Reflecting on our past (with at least 3 famous radicals – but many more, we’re sure!) and how they collaborated and communicated, one idea is to use new tech to explore ways we communicate and collaborate in the 21st Century. Minecraft, weaving, computer skills (and then all three at once) will be on offer, come and play with us and share your skills too!
