Green Practices: Recommendations for Sustainable Festivals

Did you know that the average festival produces more than 2 kg of waste per visitor per day? For the second year in a row, the Network of Festivals in the Adriatic Region, in collaboration with the Zagreb Film Festival, is organizing a workshop program for festivals to raise awareness of sustainability within the industry. Through practical recommendations and tools, this workshop explores how cultural events can reduce their environmental impact while increasing quality, recognition, influence, and long-term visibility. Festivals and cinemas can become inspiring, responsible, and sustainable spaces that care for their communities.

The application deadline is October 25, 2025, via the online form.
