We commissioned a sustainability strategy from the Institute for Circular Economy. Since 2019, we have been gradually implementing its proposals to create lasting changes<\/p>\n

- Transport<\/strong>
\nKeep your car at home. The best way to enjoy the Signal Festival is to walk. If you need to move easily, we would recommend using public transport. In collaboration with the Prague Transport Company (Dopravni podnik), we ensure a smooth service for everyone. What is more, we provide our volunteers with discount vouchers for Rekolo.<\/li>\n- Cleanliness<\/strong>
\nConsidering the many thousands of visitors, waste is a big issue. Eliminating single-use plastics and replacing them with reusable cups, we try to prevent waste as much as possible. During the festival, we actively take care of the street cleanliness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.signalfestival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/signal2023_dusan_vondra_91a3910-large-1024x683.jpeg\")

Energy fuels the whole experience of the Signal Festival. But how much of it do we actually use?<\/p>\n

\nFor instance by bringing many thousands of people out on the streets at a time. By turning the lights off at home and hitting the festival routes, this massive wave of switched-off households helps to compensate for the festival’s energy usage as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.signalfestival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/signal23_tomas-slavik_sla03765-large-1024x683.jpeg\")

Attracting more than 4.5 million visitors from both abroad and home, Signal Festival is the most visited Czech cultural event. That is great joy as well as a great commitment for us.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

- The visual smog<\/strong>
\nSignal Festival is all about experiencing art. That’s why we don’t want to flood the whole Prague center with food stalls and we only reserve specific zones for catering.<\/li>\n- Openness<\/strong>
\nSignal Festival is here for everyone. Thanks to modern technology, we turn the city into a projection screen \u2014 and we want everyone to enjoy it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nStarting with special family-friendly programs right through to accessible installations to more advanced art concepts, we seek to communicate relevant topics that resonate with the general public. Every year, we join forces with the non-profit sector to transmit our values through specific actions, whether it’s tree planting or enabling disabled visitors to fully experience the festival.<\/p>\n

- Vision<\/strong>
\nArt has to stay alive. That’s why we support the young generation of Czech artists and creative collectives through the Signal Calling open call or the Neon Prize for young creators. Connecting Czech art with the international scene, we export local artists to festivals abroad while inviting renowned international artists to Prague.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nUm\u011bleck\u00e1 d\u00edla<\/span><\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
- \n
- Materials<\/strong>
\nThe artists and our production team are working with sustainable materials such as recyclables to create the installations. In addition, they often use rentable design elements. In addition, nearly half of the program is made up of existing works that no longer need to consume additional materials and thus produce waste.<\/li>\n- Second life of installations<\/strong>
\nThe path of art installation does not end with the Signal Festival. Thanks to international collaborations, we also present works at other festivals around the world. However, we support the longevity of the artworks not only thanks to foreign but also local collaborations with leading institutions such as Kunsthalle Prague, CAMP, or the National Gallery Prague.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.signalfestival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/signal2022_dusan_vondra_lowres_91a5614-1024x683.jpg\")

- Marketing promotion<\/strong>
\nWe don’t want to needlessly print stacks of unnecessary leaflets and produce more waste. That’s why we keep paper and print consumption to a minimum and instead communicate with you mostly digitally. You can also view the Signal Festival map online – we are printing a paper version of it in cooperation with Den\u00edk N, which is distributed by our volunteers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.signalfestival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/signal2023_dusan_vondra_91a2818-1024x683.jpg\")
