ADE Green Announce Full Agenda
In just 2 weeks time we are heading to Amsterdam to deliver our AGF Assessor Training, and to join ADE Green both delivering a sessions, and networking with the who's who of the festival and event industry.
Art for social change, the theme of this year's program is all about showing how incredible artists and thinkers from all over the world dedicate their lives to a bigger cause in order to ignite and strengthen sustainability, innovation and social change.
After previews news about ‘Art For Social Change’ being ADE Green’s main theme in 2017, the organisers commented that "we received a few questions such as 'what does social change have to do with ecology and wasn’t this conference about sustainability?' Yes. And it still is. But if you really want to make a change, you need people who are willing to fight to make what they believe in happen. For this year’s conference, ADE Green looked for individuals who inspire others by showing how incredible artists and thinkers from all over the world dedicate their lives to a bigger cause in order to ignite and strengthen sustainability, innovation and social change. ADE Green believes in the potential of individuals and their dreams and ideals, regardless of whether you are well known. ADE Green features great speakers, panels and workshops. Throughout the day, we will try to inspire and answer questions linked with with one (or all) of our themes:"SUSTAINABILITY
