Sustainable Living Festival in Hoedspruit

The Kruger to Canyons Biosphere will be holding its first Sustainable Living Festival from the 15th-17th May 2008. It is expected that these will become an annual feature in the Hoedspruit calendar.



The 3 day festival will showcase projects, products and organisations involved in Sustainable Development, as well as Biosphere-related projects and practices.

The Festival includes a local celebration of international Biodiversity Day on Saturday May the 17th.

The Kruger to Canyons Annual General Meeting will start off the festival.

A number of workshops will follow focusing on Sustainable Development, Responsible Tourism and Organic and Biodynamic Agriculture.

At the venue (Southern Cross School) a number of stalls and exhibitions will underline the central challenges of the festival: what is our ecosystem doing for us - and what can we do for our ecosystem?

Associated with the festival will be Art and Craft competitions for the school children (illustrating eco-system living), an adventure race exploring the local environmental and use of land within the region, evening activities and a wide range of entertainment.

The entire festival will culminate in a Gala Dinner which will be attended by a number of national and international role players and decision makers and other invited guests. There will also be a number of additional tickets sold to interested parties.

Entrance to the festival will be charged at R30 per adult and R15 per child per day. Special "Full Festival" Tickets will be available at R60 per ticket and will enable you to enter the festival on all 3 days.
