The People Against Poverty and Apathy Festival is a convergence of
communities and movements coming together to share, dream, and create.
We camp out in a little village of subversive friendships to conspire
together in learning workshops, while making music, over campfires, and
on hikes through the woods.
Morning sessions are geared toward teaching, bible studies, and panel discussions, where we ponder things like community, theology and peacemaking. In the afternoons, we have workshops and how-to sessions where folks explore anything from knitting and bike repair to drumming and carpentry. The evenings have inspiring music, circus festivities, and storytelling.
PAPA Festival has a completely different feel from your average conference or music festival, as it is a little village that is dependent on the joy and work of all of us. It is organized entirely by voluntary effort, no paid staff, and is funded by donations of those of us excited by and committed to it… Further, admission to the gathering is on a donation basis to assure that everyone is able to make it to the celebration.
Our gathering this year is inspired by previous festivals:
