Our Vision

Reconciliation festival is a new festival, located in Stavanger region,Norway. Our vision is guided by the United Nations Agenda 2030 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We believe and want to demonstrate that art and science together can contribute to build a beautiful world and create greater social bond. The festival prioritizes active participation, especially aiming to engage children and young people as they are the citizens of the future. Therefore we offer them a diverse range of artistic and scientific workshops and invite them to voice their ideas.
