CitizenFest
CitizenFest is a celebration of inclusive citizenship, and the possibilities of a world where everyone matters – without exception.
CitizenFest is an opportunity to get together, to learn from each other, creating and sharing a world community through shared values.

CitizenFest 2020
CitizenFest 2020 was a great success - building on the first CitizenFest held in Glasgow in 2019, we joined with our fantastic allies in Los Angeles and Helsinki to create 3 CitizenFests and saw:
- 130 events - including arts, music, talks, dance, theatre
- 3,000+ people attended one or more event
- At least 51,000 people reached via social media
- Sharing media between different people in different places
- Locally hosted and online platforms
The Strindberg Laboratory have captured the spirit and energy of the weeks' festivities in their film:
Massive thanks to everyone who joined in, we're looking forward to next year's CitizenFest already!
CitizenFest 2019
CitizenFest Glasgow - We Are One took place in Glasgow in August 2019.
John and Frances of Radical Visions brought together a wide range of organisations from across Scotland to build upon the 7 Keys to Citizenship, producing a programme covering 3 days of workshops, music, debate, art, films, stalls and food.
Here's what happened:
No Labels No Walls took place in Helsinki in September 2019.
Markus of Kukunori, and The Strindberg Laboratory brought together diverse organisations and individuals to form a movement believing that what we have in common is more powerful than what separates us.
