LiveGreen started as a youth-led festival to canalize climate change anxiety among young people, by turning their frustration into innovation and activism. We’ve currently had twelve years of making a difference through events – and we’ll continue to unite and inspire people through music, art and culture.

Curious about organizing sustainable festivals, or using events as a tool to communicate sustainability and create impact? You have come to the right place!

LiveGreen’s guide for sustainable events contains checklists, tools and tips in four areas

Case: Fridays For Future x Håkan Hellström

”Dear friends, lend your ears for a moment to these young enthusiasts,” Håkan Hellström calls out to his 70 000 fans.

Activists from Fridays For Future take the stage with a call to the audience – vote in the election, and show our politicians that the people want to see a change. Afterwards, Håkan and Greta Thunberg, with back-up singing climate activists, performed the song ”Tillsammans i mörker” in a duet.

The takeover took place on the 26th and 27th of August 2022 at Ullevi Arena in Gothenburg, two weeks before the swedish election. It was planned by LiveGreen and Fridays For Future along with Håkan Hellström and the main organizer of the events, FKP Scorpio.

• Internal meetings and parties for employees with the aim of kick-starting sustainability work.
• Conferences for partners with the aim to present sustainability ambitions and involve them in the work.
• After work with lectures on various themes.
• Tours with a focus on promoting sustainable behaviors and knowledge.

LiveGreen Pop Up is a unique concept where we take over, or become part of an existing festival or some other type of event to create sustainable, inspiring and inclusive environments.

LiveGreen Pop Up is a good way to communicate your visions and values ​​and at the same time engage visitors and partners in various sustainability challenges and actions.

Some examples of what a LiveGreen Pop Up can contain:

🏰 Meeting place: LiveGreen is on site in a tent or stand where conversations about sustainability and young people’s involvement are in focus. 

♻️ Recycling Fashion Show: 10 minutes of colorful magic on stage! With recycled materials and young female enthusiasts as creators and models, Recycling Fashion Show can inspire the audience to think green.
