Rethink Activism
Throughout 2017, and beyond, Frontløberne collaborated with Sager der Samler to rethink Aarhus’s traditional societal institutions, transforming the old industrial area of Sydhavnen into a temporary “city within the city.” This effort culminated in Rethink Activism (September 15–17), an activist festival on Sydhavnen. The festival showcased 250 activists, entrepreneurs, and everyday changemakers through debates, workshops, concerts, and discussions with the 10,000 attendees. Together, they explored creative and sustainable solutions for societal challenges.
Frontløberne hosted the city’s cultural house and three outdoor venues during the festival, emphasizing a strong youth cultural presence. These spaces featured 80 activists, 40 cultural events, and 20 young organizers. Preparation for the festival began in 2016, with dedicated volunteers shaping its goals, program, and final execution.
