Christianssand Protestfestival is a unique festival in Scandinavia, probably also in all of Europe. It aims to address apathy and indifference in society, and are often refered to as "the small festival who asks the big questions". In addition, Christianssand Protestfestival states a protest against the monotone directions in society and a lazy moral in general. In a time where tolerance is a dominant factor, the people behind Christianssand Protestfestival saw the backside of the medal – indifference. Quote Svein Inge: "It is possible to tolerate each other to death" Christianssand Protestfestival conists of debates, concerts, lectures, conversations, performance, art and documentaries. It is a place where anarchists, communists, conservative Christians, hippies and capitalists get together and communicate. "I support The Protestfestival because they are fighting the apathy. I think organizations like The Protestfestival can make people think they have power" - Kris Kristofferson (b.1936), singer/songwriter, actor and activist	Previous participants at Christianssand Protestfestival:
