This stage will be present on the Co2penhagen festival. It is brightened by energy provided on the exercise bikes.COPENHAGEN: Well, it's week four in my bachelor thesis/project/paper. Jeppe and I have mainly spend the last weeks waiting for people to call us back.
The first two weeks we spend looking for a story to write. The choice came down to two different articles. One idea was to do a series of analytical articles on how Turkey uses Istanbul and its half western half eastern culture as a spearhead in their strive for a membership in the EU.The second idea was to write a feature book about the festival Co2penhagen, the first carbon neutral festival in the world.
After counsiling with our supervisor we settled with the Co2 festival story. The festival is a showcase in Danish innovation on sustainable energy. The entire festival is run by solar power, wind mills and so on.
Furthermore a lot of well known Danish artists like Dune, Camille Jones and Shzirley is playing. The main act on the festival is the Buffalo based band Mercury Rev who I was told plays some airy fairy experimental rock.
During the festival Jeppe and I will follow three of the project managers and co-ordinators and hopefully get a lot of hectic, action packed and colourful reportage from the event.
I dont really have a base in Copenhagen, so for one and a half week I will work as a journalist during the day and live like a vagabond at night time sleeping on couches at my friends.
After the festival we will write some background articles on how Denmark promote it self as a responsible environmental nation and how the festival fits into that image.
Hopefully it will be fun and rock'n'roll :)
Peace n love from DK
Niels
