Festivals and Fairs
Fairs and festivals are a great opportunity to talk to people in a relaxed environment about why it is #TimetoResist. You can also be creative and have fun – use your imagination to inspire people! And it’s not limited to festivals, you can organise things in your local community as well, such as flash mobs, craft stalls and photo ops.
Conversations and creative expression can inspire people to take action.
Activity ideas
Take inspiration from the ideas here, or come up with something of your own!
- Photo ops – get a group of friends together and take a photo holding up a #TimeToResist banner and share it on social media.
- Flash mobs – dress up as billionaires and throw fake money around (make sure not to litter though!)
- Craft workshops – use our stencil designs and some fabric paint to help people create their own #TimeToResist t-shirts, bags and posters
- Campaign stalls (check with your local Greenpeace office to see if there is a local volunteer group near you, as they will be experienced in organising this kind of thing)
- Piñata game with tax bills inside that billionaires need to pay (the piñata itself can be shaped like a money box or bank representation, but avoid making one of a person)
- Game to visualise how much money billionaires have vs ordinary people. People redistribute the money and decide what to fund with it e.g. climate resilience funds, local services, green initiatives etc.
Many of the activities in this guide are perfect for doing with a group of people. Local volunteer groups are experienced in things like this, so you can reach out to your nearest Greenpeace organisation to see if there is a local group near you to get advice and find like-minded people to organise an activity with.
