Annif & Co-création
Vive les 50's
Having lived various lives, I have people from all over. Brussels, of course, but also Paris, Strasbourg, the South, the West, and beyond.
They may not all know each other, but they share one thing in common: they are fascinating.
Just like you!
So let's create together!
Co-création? What?
Instead of just having a chill weekend (which is also an option), I propose a co-creation: those who want to, and only those who want to, without any pressure, can suggest a workshop or share a skill.
Similarly, there's no pressure to participate in these workshops!
A little class on music, dance, drawing, yoga, or else—everything is welcome!
When?
From the evening of Friday, October 9, to the evening of Sunday, October 11.
Ideally, it would be great if you could stay both full days until Sunday evening! After that, do as you wish and as you can.
If you're traveling from outside Paris, one option is to return with Parisians, stay at their place in Paris, and head home on Monday morning!
Hey friends! If you're here, it means you're coming (I hope) to celebrate my 50th birthday weekend.
Co-création? How?
Once you're motivated for your activity, consider the duration.
Aim for between 30 and 60 minutes, maybe up to 90 minutes, but not more.
If you need anything, just let me know or bring it along. Sign up on the list below. Feel free to check it and add yourself. You can also share what you're doing, and I'll fill it in. A few days before the weekend, we’ll review and plan.
programm
Friday 9 Oct, during the day: Prep and shopping. You’re welcome to join, but absolutely no obligation. I already have a small team, but the more the merrier — and the more rice we can cook.
Friday 9 Oct, 6pm: Drinks + potluck dinner. Everyone brings something depending on what they can manage. A sausage, a giant rice salad, or a 3-metre-wide quiche. Yum.
Friday 9 Oct, 10pm: Party. Or not. Bring something to drink if you can — I’ll have some, but not enough for everyone for the whole weekend.
Saturday 10 Oct, morning: Breakfast. Everything you need will be there. No fixed schedule, no stress — depending on when people wake up and what they feel like doing.
Saturday 10 Oct, around 12/1pm: Meal #1.
Saturday 10 Oct, afternoon: Co-creation time! Workshops, activities, things people want to share. But absolutely no obligation to join — you can
also just go for a walk and hang out with lovely people.
Saturday 10 Oct, 7pm: Meal #2.
Saturday 10 Oct, 10pm: Party. Or not. Same idea :)
Sunday 11 Oct, morning: Breakfast. Everything you need will be there. Again: no stress, depending on everyone’s mood and energy.
Sunday 11 Oct, around 12/1pm: Meal #3 / brunch.
Sunday 11 Oct, afternoon: More co-creation, workshops and shared activities. Or you can simply go for a walk with the still-equally-lovely people.
Sunday 11 Oct, 6pm: Last meal together.
Sunday 11 Oct, 7/8pm: Goodbye hugs.
Q&A
Where do we sleep?
Either in a bedroom or in a dorm. I’ll sort out who sleeps where a bit later depending on everyone.
What do we eat?
On Friday, bring something for the potluck dinner. If you can cook something, amazing. If not, a sausage is perfectly fine. And if you bring nothing... you’ll get a dare.
I’m not very social.
Don’t worry, my friends are cool.
I don’t feel like partying, I just want to hug trees.
Perfectly fine. No judgement. We’ll try not to make too much noise for you, but bring earplugs just in case.
I want to party HARD.
There will be some great DJs.
I don’t want to propose a co-creation activity.
No problem at all.
I don’t want to take part in the co-creation activities.
Also totally fine. And it’s not happening all weekend anyway.
I can only come for one evening.
Are you sure? :) In any case, I’d much rather see you for a little while than not at all.
What should I bring?
Something to eat for Friday, and at least some of what you’d like to drink during the weekend — alcohol or not, whatever you enjoy. Also bring whatever you need to feel comfortable: toiletries, a towel, sunglasses, a rain jacket just in case, and anything else you usually need for a weekend away.
What about drinks?
I’ll provide some, but not everything. So bring some of what you enjoy drinking, depending of course on where you’re travelling from. I’ll take care of the rest.
I’m coming from far away.
If you’re passing through Paris, there will probably be someone driving who can pick you up there. Let me know and we’ll organise something.
