Folkemødet on Bornholm

Folkemødet on Bornholm is an annual event that attracts politicians, experts, organizations and citizens from near and far to an exciting and lively debate festival. With thousands of participants gathered on the island, the public meeting is a diverse melting pot of opinions, ideas and perspectives.

Here, the program is packed with a wide range of events, ranging from panel debates and lectures to workshops and interactive discussions. The topics are as diverse as the participants themselves, and include everything from climate change and health policy to education, technology and cultural issues. Politicians from different parties are present to engage in dialogue with both citizens and interest organisations, which creates a unique opportunity to gain insight into and influence the political agenda.

But it is not only the formal arrangements that make the public meeting a unique experience. In the many tent areas around the island, informal conversations also take place, where people meet, exchange views and build networks across professional and social divides. It all happens in an atmosphere of openness and celebration of democracy that makes this event a special place for committed citizens to meet and share their thoughts and ideas.

For those who want to fully immerse themselves in the experience of the folk meeting, there is the option of staying close to the events at Sannes Familiecamping. Here you can pitch your own tent in the beautiful Bornholm nature, bring your own caravan or rent one of the many beautiful cabins. That way you can experience the atmosphere, the debates and enjoy the island’s unique atmosphere.
