What to say – it just gets more and more impressive from year to year, all this summer course building-up and dismantling…

This year, the stakes after the course were set extra high: shortly after the course, the EC road had to be completely closed for roadworks during daytime, each day – at least until christmas. Meaning no trucks would be able to go up and down during their business hours to take away the tents. They had to be taken down within little more than a week – by less than 100 helpers who gave what was probably the leftovers of their vacation time and money.

Way before the course started, there was a cleverly worked out and detailed plan how to speed up the dismantling, precisely scheduled hour by hour already for the last days of the course. However, the most clever plan only makes sense when there are actually people diligent enough to put it to practice – after weeks and months of already building up and running the course.

Oh, and despite the tight schedule – of course we still managed to celebrate together in the evenings – be it with a football match in what was the dining tent a day before, a jam session in the halfway-torn down kitchen tent or just chilling and dancing in the Baucafé.

In the name of all course participants – many thanks to all the diligent friends who stayed to help afterwards. You inspired us deeply.
