The Sustainability Festival of the University of Westminster has been created in 2021. The aim is to promote the University's sustainable goals and the 17 sustainable development United Nations goals.
The MA Event Design and Management students organise entirely the festival. The students create and think about everything from the sponsorships to the marketing, including the programme.
This year, 6 teams are creating 6 different events. There are also 2 festival coordinators linking together all of the events to make the essence of the festival.
This year, the students focused on Educating people on the strength of reusing and giving a new life to their old stuff.
The Sustainability Festival aims to help people move towards a greener future by educating others on ways to reduce their waste and be responsible with their old stuff. The events will promote different types of sustainable ways of renewing their old stuff.
In partnership with the Sustainability team of the University of Westminster, there will be a donation box at every event. That donation box aims to let people get rid of their old stuff and give it to families in need. The event participants can take part in this joint festival project to help people in need by giving up the garments collecting dust in their house. All of the donations will go to the British Heart Foundation.
