Paradise City: Sustainable music festival in Belgium

Paradise City Festival is one of the most popular, because of its green policy. It takes place every year in city Perk and it last for 3 days. Organizers have taken sustainability in terms of providing the greenest festival experience possible. Their mission is to show other people that large gatherings don’t have to be always associated with damaging the planet. They truly believe that people after a visit could implement some of the changes to their own lives. Moreover, Paradise City Festival acknowledges the costs of sustainability, adapting spaces and places to meet its mission with 10 step process: green energy, food, waste, water, awareness, paper, communication, CO2, camping and transport. They are all explained very precisely on their website. It’s just worth noticing that these 10 steps toward sustainability involve a lot more than simple carbon footprint reduction. They are mainly showing a walk toward a sustainable future, both within our matter and for the coming generations.

      Thanks for noticing, I'm really interested in those kind of stuff and sharing them with others. I know how important is that, especially nowadays, to educate yourself in that area.

    Apart from trying to be sustainable and promoting this idea, is it a regular festival? What is its theme - music, theatre, opera?

      It's music festival, for 3 days new bands and singers. You have an option to buy just 1 day all whole 3 day ticket. It's of course a matter of money that you want to spend.

Selfie Culture

I’ve read an article which talked about selfie culture and the meaning behind them. The main topic was focus on the choice of the camera angle. And how we sometimes, not even aware, use different poses in the way, that we non-verbally communicate with others. When we choose to take selfies from above, left side, frontally etc. All of the mention angles are providing social and emotional signals to viewers.  Selfies have been around since the rise of social media. I was familiar with the general concept of selfie but I wasn’t aware of psychological meaning behind them. It was interesting to learn about the popularity of showing our left side (apparently this side is more emotionally expressive) but also, I really enjoyed the truest statement of all: we look better in our selfies, than in photos other people take of us. In my own believe I see selfies as a way of self-expression, it really tells something about a person, especially on social media. article: https://theconversati...

Brands on Social Media

It’s not hard to notice that with the progress of social media, we’ve started using them in completely different ways, in comparison to the early beginnings. I would say at first, all platforms were for regular people. But nowadays every brand has an YT channel, an account on every social media and I don’t know in my opinion it’s unnecessary. I had so many eye roll moments when I scroll through Twitter and a Polish Netflix account tries so hard to be relatable.  I guess brands started to act like people and people started acting like brands. Influencers with brand deals which come with money are sometimes losing the humane part of their content. So, in that way companies are basing their content on relatability- cause some people like that. I mean I don’t care about what Netflix thinks about Pikachu, I want to know what movies are added next month. Examples:

Poland activists urge people to think before ticking Catholic box in census

 I’ve read an article about a Polish census and specifically the importance of one particular box- religion. Activists in Poland are emphasizing the significance in making a right choice. The data from previous census is inaccurate and it has been used by politicians (in the rightwing) for many years as an argument in my cases. Those were specifically used against LGBT+ and with pro-choice movement.  I’m not in the position to judge what people should or shouldn’t believe. I guess the main problem appears, when this religion is causing issues and when it’s used against other people. In my opinion, religion should be a personal act and you can’t call yourself a believer when you literally shaming people who are different from you. But I’m honestly not surprised that people still think that our entire country is Roman Catholic. They are making these assumptions mainly based on our traditions-which are mostly Catholic. article: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/19/p...
