The creative festival in the stone quarry of Groß-Reipersdorf has become an educational festival for all generation in recent years. Local clubs and associations have been involved more frequently and the association ‘Stein – Werk – Arena’ has been expanded. Both measures could help to establish this creative festival even better in the region, appealing to more and more participants so that the number of visitors constantly increased. The organisation ‘Katholisches Bildungswerk Wien’ and the ‘Forum Erwachsenenbildung’ functioned as the project sponsors. This way the offer could gain further support throughout the area of Lower Austria.
