Acculturation

A big part of being a new (or old) burner is acculturation. You know, that thing we do? When we bring new people into our community? And when we, as burners, grow with our community?

This year PDF has two new Acculturation Coordinators here to save you from telling the new kid how to act at the party. Be on the lookout for a number of discussion topics, resources, and opportunities to turn a noobiest of noobs into the brightest burner. The Communications and Acculturation team are looking forward to bringing Burner 101 programming to a screen near you.

Did you know? The 10 principles of Burning Man may seem big and scary if you're new, or if someone challenges you to name all ten! Here are a few videos to learn about or deepen your knowledge of how to teach others about the ten principles!
