1. I want to participate, but I don't have my own location
We will help you find a location tailored to your proposal, on or around Buda Island. Every year, we propose new and surprising locations that we make available to our participants. You are responsible for filling your space.
2. I want to participate and have my own location
You can also submit a proposal with your own location that you manage yourself and for which you are therefore responsible. This location is on or around Buda Island. We also accept a few off-site locations, but to a limited extent. You confirm that you will be available to visit throughout the entire WONDER period.
3. I want to participate with an event, activity or workshop
If you want to submit an event, activity or workshop, we will be happy to consider it on a case-by-case basis. The main location, the Buda Factory, is also available for external events. Please contact us for more information.
If you add an event, activity or workshop to your submission, we consider this to be a great added value. This allows us to link various target groups to other initiatives.
