Outriders Festiwal

#1

OUTRIDERS FESTIVAL – IS A STORYTELLING FESTIVAL THAT BRINGS THE WORLD CLOSER TO YOU – TROUGH STORIES.

It explains particular phenomena. Shows scenarios for the future and enables you to take a closer look at what is happening now – locally and globally. Stories can change the world. Passed from mouth to mouth, uploaded on social media, captured in photos. They build order, shape narratives, and allow us to form our opinions.
