You took part in the hitchgathering 2010 in Sines and/or helped with it's organization and/or would like to participate in 2011, therefore you can tell us....
Promotion (flyer distribution, press and media coverage, pre-gatherings etc)
What I appreciated: What I missed what I wish for next year
Location (country, gathering place, facilities, local hospitality, costs)
What I appreciated:
- The split between Sines and Barcelona. The big city and the small town / The location in Barcelona / The location in Sines --Sitarane
- Nice people, good place, the weather, the seaside
- Great camping spot, with good facilities (showers, shadow, toilets). Very cheap (21 E. for each day to be slip between the participants)Mirtillosmile.
- Great hospotality given by locals not used to international tourists. We have been welcomed with donated food by the owner of the camping. Dumpster diving was great in the market and local people gave pots, pans, and grill for cooking.Mirtillosmile.
- Portugal was a good choice in terms of costs (food and alchool very cheap) Mirtillosmile.
- I appreciated the presence of a local coordinator (Rui) who solved last minutes burocracy misunderstanding and took care of all the papers. His support on location has been essential for the successful managemnet of the location and for the mediation with the City Council and the Tourist Office. Mirtillosmile.
What I missed:
- People tent to spread between the beach(es) and the camping. Mirtillosmile.
what I wish for next year:
- A location where people will be able to stay together without spreading too much around (or not all the time).Mirtillosmile.
- Another local organizer (since it worked so well this year)Mirtillosmile.
Participation (workshops, cooking, quantity of participants...)
What I appreciated:
- The hitchhiking spirit, which was everywhere around and is so unique and beautiful.
What I missed:
- After such a trip, I was too tired to want to wreck havoc on the town. I think many felt that way and we ended up chilling a lot and not doing much. --Sitarane
what I wish for next year:
- More action there. --Sitarane
Organization/Coordination/Facilitation (on the place and before)
What I appreciated:
- many people gave power and time to organize this meeting.
What I missed:
- Clear responsibilities (there is a point about power and so on, but responsibility is not the same than hierarchie and also necessary to get things done). Overview and informations about what was going on beside the meetings. It was hard to connect if you missed a meeting.I missed also a community feeling and some "action energy". We talked about much things, sometimes everyone agrees, but no one was moving, thats sad.
what I wish for next year:
- To know who is doing what and to have clear who is responsible for what, so things can be organized faster and easier. I would wish to have more exchange and less discussion in the common circle. I would also wish to have a kind of blackboard where we publish informations, workshops, requests, slogans, ideas, whatever. I would wish myself more room and possibilities for creative methods (this has to be organized before and not during the gathering). For example, i facilitate in an open space in april and there we make kinda post box with a camera, where people can create messages to themselves and to the world, safe emotions or thoughts and so on. I would wish to make the contact list directly in a laptop!!! not do the same mistake the third time again!
On the road (experiences?)

what I wish for next year:
Comments
It would be nice for a better overview, if everyone could write his own evaluation and not just add comments to the existing frame. Just to see if there are several people with same opinions.
I've changed the frame: now people can comment on specific topics. In case you agree with something is already there, just add your name next to the sentence. I've also moved the previous comments under the relative topic. Hope it is fine, if not, restore it from the history :)
