Real life examples

Between 2024 and 2027, festivals taking part in the STRIVE project will explore and test new sustainable solutions — and share their stories, challenges, and insights here.

2024

Festivals, that are part of the STRIVE project, are coming together to exchange ideas, discover each other’s sustainability efforts, and learn from existing best practices.

2025

The first sustainable solutions are tested during the festival season. At the same time, an open call for SMEs and start-ups is launched, connecting festivals with innovative providers of sustainable products and services.

2026

More sustainable solutions are piloted across festival grounds. Festivals begin collecting data to compare the impact and performance of different approaches.

2027

Results and insights are shared with the wider festival community, supporting others in adopting proven, circular solutions for their own events.
