Execution
Political debates are not popular. By organising a more TedX live event we managed to bring the excitement in the debate and the politics out of it. To make an event of the European parliament known and more 'sexy', we had to create a buzz making guerrilla activation to stand out in a city like Paris where 1000 exciting things happen at the same time.
The idea of the smallest demonstration with all 'problematic' professions in an artistic visual expression was exactly what fashionable Parisians noticed. And it demonstrated strongly the creative approach of the event, making the EP 'trendy'.
