WordJam Norden February 2017

jam_event1

On the 11th of February next year we will host the first WordJam Norden. It will be a smaller jam and takes place at Brunnen in Gothenburg, Sweden. Everyone is welcome but we recommend people to have a basic knowledge of Swedish, Danish or Norwegian since the jam will be held in these languages.

The jam will be the summary of the pre-project funded by Nordic Culture Point and after the jam we will evaluate the project and define the next steps.

In March we will host two (maybe three) local WordJam Göteborg. Dates and place are not set yet and these are funded by the City of Gothenburg’s project fund Pronto.

But first WordJam Norden! The link to the event you’ll find here.

Welcome!

The last months have been hectic and a bit chaotic. But now with the end of 2016 approaching we can conclude that we did not win the lottery this year either but learned more than money can buy and had fun while learning (and lacking sleep at times).

2017 already have a bunch of dates crossed in the calendar – feels great!

To begin with Cat Eyed People’s Playground will stay at Masthuggskajen, at least for part of 2017, for how long we will know during January when the contract is signed.

WordJam will take place in Gothenburg during the first part of the year. Thanks to additional support from Pronto, City of Gothenburg, 2 or 3  Swedish WordJam will held before mid-April.

WordJam together with Beats & Ord will then be part of The International Science Festival Gothenburg May 8 – 19, both as a part of the School Programme and as a part of the Public Programme.

In the end of May Slot Car Music head of to Bergen, Norway, where Cat Eyed People will host a workshop at and participate in the conference Digital Technology in Arts Education.

At Cat Eyed People’s Playground the exhibitions and playfulness will continue and a new exhibition will open in the beginning of next year.
