Humanity is going through a complex process of historical transformation in which the consolidation of a new paradigm - sustainable development - is necessary to address unprecedented global crises such as climate change and COVID-19. In keeping with this harsh reality, the 2030 UN Agenda for Sustainable Development can be considered urgent for individuals, communities, institutions and nations, focusing on the imperative need to create the structural foundations for a socially just environment and a safe world. 

This cements the scope and future impact of this project through new international partnerships with more festivals, and through the collection of global knowledge, from pioneers in the field - on festivals, sustainability and potentially beyond. 

This project explores different ways in which contemporary festivals could function as platforms for improving Sustainable Development. The central idea is to explore how music and art festivals, through strategies of socio-environmental awareness and education, community building and social participation, contribute to the consolidation of sustainable development as a new paradigm.

The program is focused on detonating a change in narrative and practice related to festival culture with a sustainable approach.

A project that reflects on a post-COVID world, in which sustainability will be more key than ever in the realisation of these independent cultural manifestations, in which new narrative, design and production skills will be sought; where cultural exchanges and international cooperation should predominate, where the transmission of knowledge and skills is priority, thus allowing the creation of communities open to the world, as well as facilitating new creative habits of consumption, coexistence and, above all, well-being.
