H O M E A W A Y R E S O R T COP15 edition

STARTINGPOINT
Home Away Resort is a meeting place and a temporary lodging experience during ten days of winter 2009. Collaborating with the New Life Copenhagen and the matching system of guests and hosts in Copenhagen during COP15 we involved seven hosts and guests in seven homes to explore new ways of creating an exchange between people from all over the world. The Resort is focusing on the small scale encounter in a kitchen or living room filled with discussions and reflections on the future of the globe as well as the taste of a Thai green curry or the smell of snow.

Here the roles of home and away are investigated and turned upside down. Raketa travels to Copenhagen to meet the participants and throughout the conference period provides them with instructions and special services that will make the guests feel at home and make the hosts feel like being in their own homes for the first time.

We are happy to invite you to HOME AWAY RESORT.
