Festival of Sustainable Development: get ready for the 6th edition!

The Festival of sustainable development

This will be the festival’s sixth edition. Since its inception, the Sustainable Development Festival has featured an array of events held in different location. In total, more than 3,500 events were organized, including conferences, seminars, workshops, exhibitions, performances, sports events, book presentations, and documentaries.

The initiative is promoted by the Italian Alliance for Sustainable Development (ASviS) with its more than 300 adherents and with the support of Partners. But the Festival is the fruit of everyone’s collaboration: individual events can be organized by anyone who wants to contribute to the public debate on sustainable development. The Festival was born in 2017, when the first edition saw some 220 events in Italy. Since then, every year the Festival has grown exponentially and now counts thousands of events held in all regions of Italy, as well as abroad.

Why we need sustainability-focused events

Events like the Festival of Sustainable Development are important because they help encourage people to think about sustainability in a way that feels fun and natural, rather than dry and academic. This can be a challenge, since sustainability is often considered a more serious issue and doesn’t always have the same appeal as more mainstream events like music festivals or sports games. However, with the right planning and execution, sustainable events can engage people who normally wouldn’t want to attend a talk about sustainable development and raise awareness in an engaging way. Good event-planning starts with defining your mission and audience. You need to decide what you are trying to accomplish and how you will accomplish it while targeting your message to the people most likely to support it. It’s also important to make sure your event is accessible for people who aren’t able to drive or walk long distances – and that where hybrid events come in particularly handy.

Networking is key

Finally, the Festival of Sustainable Development is a great time for networking and building relationships with other green enthusiasts—there’s no better way to learn about opportunities for work, collaboration or camaraderie than by meeting people in person. Events like FSD help keep sustainability as part of the public consciousness, which makes it easier for everyone to become more informed, more aware and more involved.
