Wanneer: 11/05/2014 - 15:00 t/m 11/05/2014 - 21:00

Come and enjoy a banquet created from surplus food donated by local suppliers and critical cinema that offers alternative ideas. This month's fusing topic focuses on Dencentralised Energy & Energy Cooperatives. Throughout the day of May 11th you can join in on a delicious dinner and connect with others interested in environmental issues! Ideas to mule over include how to operate a successful energy cooperative, how can we involve ourselves in such initiatives and why, and what are the current initiatives happening here in the Netherlands?

We will screen a brief but inspiring (20 min) video interview in which Pauline Westendorp (Energie Cooperatie Zuiderlicht) talks with John di Stasio (of Sacremento’s SMUD energy cooperative) on the subject of how to operate a successful energy cooperative.

Dr Matthijs Hisschemöller (VU University Institute for Environmental Studies) will also be present to talk about the Dutch energy cooperatives he is involved with and their current progress.

15:00-18:00 Food preparation
18:00-19:30 Dinner time
19:30-20:00 Screening: Citizens Energy Cooperatives (20 min)

You are very welcome to contribute your culinary skills in food preparation starting at 15:00h onwards. It’s a lovely afternoon atmosphere with music, friends and delicious smells from the stove! It is also perfectly ok to just come at 18.00h for the dinner or at 19:30h for the screening/talk. Bring a friend or come on your own and make new friends :)
