The 2026 POP @10 Regional Festivals

The 2026 POP@10 Regional Festivals are anchored in the theme of celebrating a decade of people-powered change while catalyzing the next wave of locally driven action on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each festival is designed as a dynamic, youth-led and community-driven platform that translates global goals into meaningful local solutions through experiential learning, dialogue, and collective action. Structurally, the festivals will be 1–2 day inclusive gatherings engaging 200–500 participants, organized around a focused set of 1–2 SDGs relevant to local contexts. They will combine learning and awareness activities, community dialogues, skill-building workshops, cultural and creative expressions, and innovation showcases, culminating in concrete action initiatives, community pledges, and the formation of local action groups to ensure sustained impact beyond the event.
