Change – From Guest to Product

You seized your chance to make DestinationCamp your forum again - we received many topic suggestions. And here are the votes!

With the support of Claudia Brözel & Lydia Band from Eberswalde University, this year's online survey was professionally evaluated, assigned to moderation formats, and divided into 6x3 workshops. This allows the Creative and Future Workshop in Tourism to enter its 6th round – here are this year's topics and their moderators & mind-mappers:

MAGIC ROUNDTABLE (Niche Topics)

(Moderator: Claudia Brözel | Mindmapper: Ansgar Jahns)

For all "spontaneous creatives" and "informal conversationalists". Participants each have the opportunity in an opening round to determine the topics, with 1 minute of speaking time that can also be "donated". The time "melts" like an ice talking stick... and participants decide whom they want to listen to and who really gets to speak. New this year: The third session is a discussion round for young people (under 35 years old). It will be exciting to see what dynamics develop here!
