SDG Festivals

We facilitate the convening of a national forum for civic engagement in SDG implementation; A public festival with debates, workshops, cultural events and exposition of solutions for the 2030 Agenda.

Building on our experience with creating and facilitating the SDG platform, Verdensmålenes Plads, at Scandinavia’s largest democratic people’s festival ‘Folkemødet’ at Bornholm, Denmark, we facilitate the convening and co-creation of ‘SDG Festivals’. As a platform for civic engagement with local pioneers from all levels of society - state, civil society and the private sector.

As such, we have been active in supporting the SDGs Village at the Kenyan People's Dialogue Festival taking place annually in March. And in 2023, Uganda had five SDG Festivals across the country, inspired by Verdensmålenes Plads.

Get in touch if you would like to learn more about how you can host your own SDG Festival.
