Into The Great Wide Open is one of the participating leading festivals in the Green Deal Circular festivals (GDCF). This is one of the +/- 300 Green Deals currently running in the Netherlands. The Green Deals are aimed at accelerating the sustainable transition. A number of leading organizations from a specific sector join together with a corresponding ministry (in this case I&W) and a number of knowledge partners to form a group that together sets sustainable objectives, develops pilots, and creates public knowledge, expertise, and networks.
