Synergy is a magical indoor festival, combining musicians, Djs, Vjs, performers, and artists from all corners of creativity, joined by various proactive NGO’s and charities with the expressed aim to make a difference.
Synergy strives to create an optimistic approach in raising awareness on the many crucial issues affecting our world today. The events gather some of the UK’s leading creative multimedia organizations joined by international NGO’s such as Oxfam, Survival, Speak, WWF, Greenpeace, Arc, Campaign Against Climate Change and many more.
In a society which generally perceives clubbing as a form of escapism associated with values of transgression, Synergy re-invents the clubbing experience by transforming it into an ‘educational’, awareness raising tool. Although Synergy has a vibrant cross-generational and multi cultural following it aims to target primarily today’s youth with its inspiring message, an audience that might otherwise be reluctant to receive, respect, and incorporate such information, in particular when proposed by conventional sources.
Now in its 4th year running and with a wealth of experience and depth the Synergy Project continues to inspire people from all walks of life to re-evaluate their views on club culture and beyond…

Talks/Debates
A series of presentations hosted by Jeff ('Good Jeff') Laster will be held on the night:
The talks will be held throughout the night in the Small World stage area:
'To young to die': The Synergy violent youth crime debate
The killing of 11 year Rhys Jones in Liverpool was the latest in an 'epidemic' of attacks on and tragic killings of young people around the UK. Often the killers/attackers were young people themselves, who were usually part of various violent gangs. Many explanations for these horrendous crimes have been suggested: Poverty, Cultural Values, Lack of Male Role Models, Decline of Traditional Religion, Moral Vacuum, Race, Racism, Impotent Policing, Government Indifference, the list goes on and on.
SYNERGY brings together a varied panel of 'experts' consisting of people from various walks of life who will debate with each other and with the Synergy audience the causes of and possible solutions to the problem of Violent Youth Crime in the UK.
Featuring on the panel on the night will be Wizdom, (of Green Jade) who works from a Christian perspective with inner city youth and gangs, Camila Batmanghelidjh who runs the amazing Kids Company for young people in need, Norman Brennan (Victims of Crime Trust), an active cop and well known media commentator, who has tirelessly supported the victims of violent crime and Will McMahon (Centre for Crime and Justice Studies, Kings College) who has studied the youth crime problem in depth. The Synergy audience will be encouraged to participate in exploring this all too topical issue. In addition there will be rehabilitated ex-offenders called on to give their opinions.
This Synergy debate will be one of the most exciting and unique events in the history of Alternative Clubbing and should not be missed.
'Lets spend the night together: The Synergy 2007 summer festivals!
This summer there were more Alternative Festivals than ever in the UK. SYNERGY Talks will look at how the Festival Scene evolved this year both on land and at times, due to flooding, underwater! Glastonbury, Sunrise Celebration, BuddhaField, Glade, Big Green Gathering, Rainbow Gathering, Stonehenge Solstice and many more alternative festivals will be focused on. Various promoters and workers and festival goers from the summer of 2007 will give their opinions and analysis. That could mean you, so prepare to reveal your summer of 2007 festival opinions and experiences. And if anyone went to Burning Man, please let's hear from you, someone burnt the Man several days early!!
Host of Talks: Jeff 'GoodJeff' Laster, creator and host of Talk events at Parallel-Youniversity, The Warp Experience and Synergy Project who has worked in the Counter Culture since the late Sixties.
Co-host: Susanna Lafond, Circle Community, Stonehenge guardian and legendary activist for many progressive causes.
