4. The Celebrate Garbage Festival The celebrate garbage festival will be sheduled during the Nile Rise festival. It serves as a common place to network, learn and take an action as a community to combat the uprising waste management problem in Abu Sir.
5. Stage The stage and its surroundings provide the opportunity for exploration, recreation, experience, experiment, catharsis and relaxation. The idea is to have music, dance, theater and other performances as well as workshops for body and soul. All in a manner that allows the participants to find their balance. Naturally, the local population can take active part in peforming and offering workshops.

For example, universities can offer programmes or establish contact to the business community in order to kickstart a new project. Companies can offer job opportunities or present new developments. Last but not least, social contacts can be made.
