The Small Is.. Festival celebrates the idea that ‘Small is Beautiful’…

The beginning of September saw a return of the unique Small is.. festival, run by charity organizations Engineers Without Borders and Practical Action. Bringing together organizations and individuals concerned with international development and the planet, the weekend featured discussion and debate about the role of intermediate technology for development, all set within the stunning grounds of the Practical Action Headquarters at Bourton Hall.

Over 400 development and sustainability enthusiasts, experts, families and locals learned, explored and shared ideas and inspiration on the challenges faced by the world today on subjects of FOOD, SHELTER, ENERGY and WATER, as well as sustainability, off-grid living and technological ideas for social good.
