The third flow festival took place from October 18th – 21st in Ruse, Bulgaria. The general topic was „Activating Spaces, Activating People by Micro Imagination“. One essential part of the festival was the common creative work on different subtopics in several working groups. And beside this, flow offered attractive festival events on three evenings for the participants and also for the local audience.
Abandoned urban spaces and locations with a rich and exciting past were reactivated and transformed to unusual festival venues. Representatives of the contemporary science and culture scene from Bulgaria and the Danube Region not only had the chance to meet during the festival, but also to exchange and develop new ideas and interdisciplinary collaborations. flow aims to develop various micro-projects, which are to be realized in different countries of the Danube Region in 2013.
The flow community is digitally connected by a dynamic social media platform. The platform gave all participants the opportunity to communicate with each other before the festival start. After the festival the platform was transformed to a digital working space for the several groups to develop concrete projects on the basis of their discussed ideas and prepared concepts.
