Your Feedback on ECOWEEK 2013 in the Middle East

'Great idea! Fantastic project! This is what ECOWEEK is about: small, simple and smart ideas!"

"ECOWEEK brings together people who want to go beyond restrictions!"

"What ECOWEEK is doing is about informing people [of the possibilities]. Thank you for the proposals [that the ECOWEEK workshop prepared for the Municipality] as we can now start showing the drawings to the stakeholders!"

"In the vision of the Municipality to develop the concept of Sustainable Pilgrimage that leaves a positive footprint, the ECOWEEK workshop ties perfectly with our vision."

"ECOWEEK is a great opportunity to work on radical ideas in sustainability!"

"Thank you for giving us the opportunity to participate. It was an amazing week! We have told our friends back in School and they really regret they did not participate this year."

"ECOWEEK was incredible!"

"ECOWEEK was unforgettable! I wish it would never end!"

"The group of students was good! We did a lot of work! Loved them!"

"The guidance of my workshop leaders was very professional and helpful and I learned a lot!"

"I really think that I had a great time this week mainly because of the approach of my workshop leader, listening and pushing us to the edge... I feel, and some other members of the group too, that the workshop ended just too fast, as if it was just the beginning. Maybe we'll meet in another ECOWEEK..."

"My experiece at the workshop was very good! I learned about working with other people!"

"I found about ECOWEEK through Google search. What attracted me to ECOWEEK was that it offered an alternative to other conferences."

"After the workshop and the lectures, I feel more ready to apply green building principles and solutions to my work!"

We have been asked several times where does the money for ECOWEEK come from and what does the registration fee support. As we encourage transparency at all levels - including auditing our financial accounts since 2007 - here are the numbers (on average):

30 % Registration fees
30 % Partners
40 % Volunteers & in-kind support

Q: Is my participation subsidized?
Yes. Registration fees cover on average 30% of the real cost of ECOWEEK. On average 70-80% is subsidized by other sources. Therefore, your participation is considerably subsidized. For every euro that you pay, we match your registration by more than twice. This is why registration fees are extremely low.

30 % Speakers / Experts
20 % Venues
20 % Graphics / Publicity
20 % Conference organization and Administration
