They are taken from the post course survey. \nStockholm The course was a vitamin injection in how to manage a festival and also how to evolve it. In short: The ultimate Crash Course in festival management!   City of Sodertalje \nCalgary This was a jam-packed course that provided much information and strengthened learning through such experiential activities as case studies\, group work\, and the sharing of stories. The two days went very quickly and I enjoyed every moment. Sourdough Raft Race Association \nMelbourne As a local government officer providing support for event organisers in our municipality\, this course provided me with a variety of tips and tools that I can pass on as well as giving me the opportunity to look more critically at how we as a council support events and what we can do differently or better. The course was also a great way to meet others working in the events field from across Australia and create new mutually beneficial contacts. Alpine Shire Council \nGöteborg This Masterclass gave me a lot of high energy and fabulous new friends. Thanks Paul for sharing your knowledge and the guidance you gave! Now I know how to increase my festival!    Kulturnatta Göteborg \nAll we talked about I can apply to my own way of thinking when it comes to our event\, and I got so many new ideas and also confirmation that what we do is right\, which leads me to believe that our dance festival will be even more successful this time around. Thank you Paul for two packed\, and inspiring days!    Abundance International Dance Festival \nCopenhagen I’m happy I participated this class. It gave me new energy and inspired me to think about my own events and projects from another perspective – because sometimes you can get stuck in your own way of doing things and then it’s good to get new input.  bazART\, Center for Arts & Interculture. \nOslo The sky is the limit! The course confirmed in many ways that our little festival is on the right track\, and that gives us so much renewed energy. You can’t put a price in that! Sirkusfestivalen\, Sarpsborg. \nThe masterclass on festivals gave food for thought\, presented in an inspiring and refreshing way. CODA     Oslo International Dance Festival \nOverijssel The masterclass on festivals gave me lots of new insights and ideas. It also gave me the possibility to evaluate the current approach. Furthermore it gave great energy to our group and will lead to a better cooperation in (near) future. A must to for everyone involved with the programming and (collective) promotion of festivals! Festivalbureau Overijssel \nRocky Harbour The Festival & Event Management Masterclass was one of the most useful courses I’ve ever attended\, with tons of practical advice and the chance to collaborate with festival organizers throughout the region. Paul led us through multiple exercises that produced some truly inspiring and innovative ideas.
