The Science Film Festival in India celebrated its 8th edition in 2024. Organised by Goethe-Institut(s), the festival offered a curation of films with a thematic focus on Net Zero and Circular Economy.
The festival was launched offering an engaging exploration of science through films, VR stations, and interaction with Abhiir Bhalla, a foremost youth environmentalist, who discussed the importance of being climate conscious, making climate crisis an electoral issue and the ever growing air pollution in Delhi. A workshop led by the Toxics Link team gave insights on the challenges of recycling various grades of plastics and e-waste in India.
In cooperation with our local partner and school networks, the science film festival focused on engaging students in hands-on activities on repairing, recycling, upcycling, waste management in households and schools, sustainable design featured in everyday things and resource distribution across the world.
The festival reached 36,809 students, from more than 110 schools across India. We hope to continue campaigning for SDGs and climate challenges while making science learning exciting for many more students in future!
