The activities consist of talks and workshops, all of which are free and open to the public without advance notice. All activities take place in an open area called the Workshop Arena or on the Stage in Nordstan at Götgatan 10, Gothenburg (the exception is the talk Aesthetic Objects and Citizenship which will take place at the Maritime Museum and Aquarium aka Sjöfartsmuseet).
Since several workshops take place during the same time and on the same place, the participant can divide the time and go between them.
