Finances

In the interest of transparency, here is a summary of the finances of the festival.  The basic principle was that we would do a 60/40 split of the net of the event between teachers and organizers, with shares of those portions split evenly amongst the 6 teachers (Ali, Frederic, Jörg, Karl, Sophia, Uli) and amongst the 6 organizers (Frederic, Jörg, Karl, Liane, Sophia, Sophia) respectively.  We offered free participation to warm-up facilitators and musicians.  We also decided that if we filled (which we did) we would offer something for the musicians.

This was not necessarily the optimal distribution, but what we came up with in busy early meetings.  Part of the principle was that while teachers were not necessarily working as hard as organizers, the festival was partially initiated as a support for the teachers who are helping make the local community happen throughout the year.  Mostly, though, we wanted to make an affordable festival where we could all have a lot of fun!
