Three European Capitals of Culture (Esch2022 – Luxembourg, Novi Sad2022 – Serbia and Veszprem2023 – Hungary) will share their experiences in the field of sustainability in the organisation of events and festivals. The project “No time to waste” aims to bring together organisations, decision-makers, festivals and events in the cross-border ECOC and Alpe-Adria area to develop guidelines for achieving zero waste events and raising awareness among audiences to reduce their negative impact on the environment.
