Call for submissions: World Village Festival, deadline 15.1.2023

The theme for the festival 2023 is Force for Change! It is difficult to change the world on your own, but together we can do it. Together we are a force for change. Inequalities and injustices are increasing. Human rights are being violated and restrictions are being placed on free civil society actors. The challenge posed by climate change to humanity is growing bigger every day. It will take all of us to reverse the unsustainable course that our planet is on. We believe that we can do it, but only as a united force acting together.

The factual programme application is for speeches, interviews, films and discussions related to these programme numbers. The programme time is limited, so only carefully selected programme numbers that are clearly linked to the festival theme can be included. The Speaker’s Stage programme will be streamed online.

Organizations can also suggest kids’ programme, exhibitions, workshops, performances and other cultural programme numbers that are linked to the festival theme.

We are especially looking for programme suggestions that focus on development and global issues, are linked to the annual main theme and inspire people to act for a just world.
