SDG Action Festival Helsinki

About the event

On busy corners, squares, in schools, the library and at Laurea UAS, short but eye-catching actions will wake up passers-by from their daydreams, thoughts, haste and urgency. With some 150 event management students from 5 international universities or colleges, we will be executing some 20 live communication events.

The aim is to make the city of Helsinki aware of the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Since a lot of organizations in the region have been fighting for some of these goals for years, the mixed international student teams are working out surprising concepts that highlight each of these organizations and the SDGs.
