From Pinksterlanddagen

An anarchist festival that takes place every year on the camping terrain ’tot Vrijheidsbezinning’ in Appelscha during the Pinksterweekend. It is a gathering for anarchists and everybody who is inspired by anarchism. The weekend is filled with workshops, lectures and discussions about anarchism and the social struggle. There is a special and fun program for children and in the evening there will be a cultural program. The Pinksterlanddagen has been organised for over 90 years and became a place for a lot of anarchists to come together.

The way the PL practically works fits to her ideology; everybody shares a responsibility in running the festival. Some arrange the general planning, others give a workshop, some people cook, build everything up or keep the place clean. The PL is organized on an alcohol&drug free anarchist camping. We respect their ways and benefit from it since we find it keeps the general atmosphere better.

We are working towards a different kind of world, a society without authority in which everybody has a voice. We are looking for people who share this view and would like to participate to that world. Come to the PL and talk to the 500 visitors of the festival. Step on the stage of the Pinksterlanddagen. You can arrive at the camping from friday the 17th of may and the camp closes its doors on the 19th – on this last day help is welcome with breaking up the campsite and cleaning the camping.

People who want to participate or help can email us: pl@puscii.nl

FAQ

Will the workshops be in english?

Some workshops will be in dutch, some will be in english. If you attend a workshop and tell the people who are doing the workshop that you don’t understand or speak Dutch, mostly people will look for a solution. This will be either finding you a translator (somebody attending the workshop who is willing to translate) or doing the workshop in english alltogether. Please don’t hesitate to ask, if you don’t make yourself clear, the people giving the lecture or workshop might not ask and that would just be very uncomfortable for you. The entire weekend is about learning, sharing, empowering and enjoying so there’s nothing weird about wanting to participate.

Where do I sleep?

It’s a camping, so you’ll have to bring camping gear like tents and sleeping bags. There are showers, toilets and everything every other camping has so don’t worry about that.

Can I take my dog?

Sorry, no dogs.

Is it fun for children to come?

It’s superfun for children to come. Every year a lot of children join the Pinsterlanddagen and there’s a two day program (sat and sun) all day especially for them. The Kinderpret collective makes a wonderfull program for them with excursions, workshops, story telling, circus and yoga. Check the ‘kinderprogramma’ page for the entire schedule.

Workshops for non-Dutch speakers

Some workshops will be in dutch, several will be in english. If you attend a workshop and tell the people who are doing the workshop that you don’t understand or speak Dutch, mostly people will look for a solution.
