Green Event

SCHÄXPIR is a climate and environmentally friendly festival

The motto of the 13th SCHÄXPIR Festival for Young Audiences is WHAT REMAINS. From 3 to 14 June 2025, the programme will tackle the really big issues - cross-cultural, diverse, multidimensional - and negotiate them in a variety of narrative forms with plenty of theatrical magic. But we are also asking ourselves the off-stage question ‘What remains’? And that leads us directly to the topic of sustainability! SCHÄXPIR is also a green event in 2025 and doesn't make a mess. We will once again be supported and advised by the team of the Upper Austrian Climate Alliance.

These are our cornerstones:

• Efficient planning of printed materials, use of paper from sustainably managed forests for the highest-circulation printed materials
• Use of public transport and bicycles at the festival, electric car for the organisation team's mobility between the venues
• Resource-saving ticket system
• Reduce waste by separating and avoiding waste, for example by using reusable products
• Regional products and reusable crockery and containers for festival catering
• Our cooperation partners also include numerous Climate Alliance businesses: There are also numerous Climate Alliance companies inside and at the venues that are committed to values such as sustainability and climate protection
• Social responsibility is also particularly important to us. This includes barrier-free access to theatre art - also with regard to age limits, financial and social thresholds. One production is translated into Austrian sign language
• One of our aims is to enable many schoolchildren to visit the festival in Linz. For Upper Austrian school classes, the province of Upper Austria will subsidise the travel costs to the festival in Linz with a travel allowance of 50% of the travel costs (bus/train)

Do something green and talk about it

It is also important for us to communicate the measures we have taken in order to help raise public awareness.
