The Festival screens wildlife and environmental films from all over the world and hosts workshops, exhibitions and media campaigns designed to foster a culture of environmental stewardship.
On a planet that faces complex issues that threaten to tear us apart, WE HOPE TO PROVIDE A PLATFORM TO FIND COMMON GROUND AND THE CONNECTION THAT IS NECESSARY TO SUSTAIN LIFE
We strive to provide a platform for people to come together, learn and create solutions.
During the 9 years of the festival’s existence, more than 300 films from 150 countries around the world have been screened. The SunChild International Environmental Festival is the first and only of its kind in the South Caucasus region.
The Festival takes place in autumn, but it also hosts screenings and workshops year round throughout Armenia for youth. This provides a space for youth to understand and engage environmental issues in order to find local solutions.
SunChild International Environmental Festival has been organized annually since 2007 by the Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets (FPWC).
