Feed Your Mind Platform addresses those who are always looking for inspiration and whose mind and imagination are working at maximum speed.

Feed Your Mind comes alive right during the festival and it translates into talks, debates, fire-side interviews and workshops which aim to feed and educate the minds of the festival goers. 

 

Subjects range from civil society issues to entrepreneurship, from mindfulness to inspiring personal stories, from boosting your skills to fostering others’,  in open-mic formats. Workshops, live demonstrations and Q&A sessions are also on the list, as well as open-air theatre and improv shows, stand-up comedy moments and morning coffee talks with the organizers.

• Adela Chivărean – Restorer, Founder of The Wood Doctor

  When the word restorer popped out in Adela’s bio, some asked where is the link with feed your mind and its progressive content?!
  But restoration doesn’t mean old, but renewed authentic . Adela will definitely agree with us on this. She promised to share her experience with The Wood Doctor, as well as her current restoration inspos and ways to become a professional in the field.
  A 2 in 1 speech (workshop included), only at Feed Your Mind 2018!

• Alexandru Agatinei, Social innovator/Siberia Ice Run

  We asked him what awakens him. He was swift to reply: a sum of experiences shared with other people and at crossroads moments in life. Such a simple answer from an interesting speaker with a complex journey. Alexandru went to university, but never attended BA exams. He got a job in a financial consultancy corporation but left to volunteer for elderly care NGOs and non-formal children education projects. He then switched to startups and crossed lake Baikal, as part of the very first Romanian crew doing this insane adventure, -30°C. His professional choices are marks of a curious and relentless personality. Which in the end are sources of inspiration for all of us.
