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.

Creative Europe’s support

GEX uses the Living Lab method, based on co-creation, mentoring, skills building between the six partners and their teams. It is a collaborative process which includes professionals, students, stakeholders and experts.

Beyond Environmental Sustainability

GEX is based on the 7R model: rethink, reduce, re-use, repair, refurbish, recover, recycle. This is the strategy proposed by the project to reach the relevant United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to face climate change, enhance biodiversity and support equality.
