The World Village Festival would not be possible without extensive cooperation with many partners. NGOs are at the heart of the festival, and their activities are visible in every part of the festival. A large group of volunteers organising the festival take care of many important practical matters.

In addition to NGOs, different authorities and educational institutions have produced programme and other services for the festival. For businesses, the festival offers a great opportunity for socially responsible cooperation.

We welcome everyone to the Village! Please see our contact information for getting in touch with the right people.
