The Song and Dance Celebration in Tallinn

The XXVIII Song and XXI Dance Celebration was held in Tallinn, Estonia. The event organizers have put a lot of effort into ensuring that the big event is held in a sustainable manner.

In the framework of the Change(K)now! project, the solution was tested, which nudged the singers and dancers staying in school buildings who ordered food for themselves to prefer reusable dishes. To do this, they needed to scan a QR code that helped them easily find caterers who offered reusable dishes on Wolt and Bolt. Ringo reusable packaging could be conveniently returned to the yellow return boxes at the accommodation.

Measures tested:

• Combined reusable tableware return system

When:

• From 3 to 6 July 2025

Results:

This pilot focused on learning how to combine different return systems and service providers for different target groups within a single-event. The measures reduced the use of single-use packaging and raised awareness of circular solutions among visitors (120,000 ca.), performers (40,000 ca.) and organisers.
