About Sustainable Development Festival

In 2026, Lecco officially joins the national network of ASviS, the Italian Alliance for Sustainable Development, with the first local edition of the Sustainable Development Festival. From May 6th to 22nd, 27 distributed events across the city and region invite citizens and young people to engage with the themes of the UN's 2030 Agenda: environment, social inclusion, education, culture, circular economy, and active citizenship. Public meetings, workshops for children, nature excursions, talks, and artistic moments make up a participatory program, organized by R-Evolution APS with Officina Badoni and the patronage of the Municipality of Lecco.

Lecco Joins the National ASviS Network

The Sustainable Development Festival is Italy's largest initiative dedicated to the culture of sustainability, promoted nationally by ASviS (Italian Alliance for Sustainable Development). In 2026, Lecco also joins this network with its first local edition, a sign of the growing attention of the city on Lake Como to environmental and social issues.

27 Distributed Events Across the Region

The Lecco edition offers 27 events spread from May 6th to 22nd across the city and its surrounding municipalities. The program is intentionally varied: public meetings, workshops for children, nature excursions, cultural and artistic events, talks on inclusion and disability, and discussions on sustainable food. A mosaic designed to make the 17 goals of the UN's 2030 Agenda accessible and concrete.

A Network of Associations

The festival is organized by R-Evolution APS in collaboration with Officina Badoni ATS and with the patronage of the Municipality of Lecco, but it relies on a broader network of environmental, cultural, and third-sector associations. This strong associative base gives the festival a highly participatory and community-driven character.

Engaging Young People

Among the stated objectives is to introduce younger generations to sustainability issues through accessible and engaging experiences. The opening on May 6th at Officina Badoni is dedicated to food policies, with a debate followed by an anti-waste aperitif. This is a first step that places Lecco, in the Province of Lecco and the Lombardy Region, within a national cultural movement.
