Do It Anyway 2015 has been developed as part of a larger EU Grundtvig supported project called Open Sourcing Festivals, co-produced by five experimental art, design and technology organizations from the Pixelache Network and focused on open source culture. Open Sourcing Festivals is a mobile circuit of workshops and seminars organized across Europe during 2013-2015 by Piksel (NO), Pikslaverk (IS), Mal au Pixel (FR) and Pixelache (FI). In the process the partners have been gradually working towards 'open-sourcing the knowledge embodied in their respective workshops and festival production, in order to share it with a broader range of users. A database of resources and documentation is under construction and accessible at http://opensourcingfestivals.eu

In partnership with Pixelache Network. http://network.pixelache.ac/

With the support of the Grundtvig Foundation for Life Long Learning.
