State of the art Climate change and environmental degradation are two of the biggest challenges of society. In the field of culture, music and arts, festivals have a major impact on the environment. GEX wants to rethink the production model and design of these events to co-create a better future for festivals.
GEX aspiration is to rethink the production model of music and art festivals to heal climate change.
Description of the project Green Europe Experience (GEX) is a three-year-long living lab between six European partners based on circular economy in scenography & food. The main goal of GEX is to create, test and assess a sustainable production and evaluation model for European music festivals and provide professionals and relevant stakeholders of the sector with adequate skills and competencies to tackle the challenge of the sustainability shift. The project aims to strengthen a complex system of replicable practices directed to promote the implementation of the circular economy model in music festivals and the cultural sector, thanks to offline and online actions and strategies.
