Greenpop Zambia Festival of Action

Greenpop Zambia Festival of Action is an event in Livingstone, Zambia. Every June and July, the Greenpop Zambia Festival of Action brings people together from around the globe to learn, connect, give back, grow, celebrate and get active. Over three weeks we plant thousands of trees, grow food forests, build using eco-bricks, set up recycling systems, share knowledge, brighten up schools with eco murals, attend sustainability workshops, celebrate with live music and more. It’s an adventure for active citizens who want to change their world.

The event is an ongoing awareness campaign to fight Zambia’s deforestation and highlight environmental issues, with an annual 3-week festival of action to give it extra momentum. It was successfully launched in 2012 by Greenpop, a social organisation based in South Africa. Over 7,000 trees have been planted so far. The fundraising event is a collaborative education project perfect for those interested in volunteering, who have a specific skill they would like to share with others.
