Folkemødet 2015 x Bornholm

5th year in a row, the sunny island Bornholm hosted a 'people's meeting', Folkemødet. A concept pretty much based on the mutual meeting between political parties, NGO's and curious people with even the slightest political interest. I spent some lovely days surrounded by friends and acquaintances from around the country. Beer, sun, laughing, endless discussions and conversations were the elements of this year's Folkemøde. I'll be back.
