The 2nd step will be the main event in Aparecida, São Paulo, which will take place between July 19th and 21st, 2024. During this phase, young people will gather for three days for a great moment of exchange of experiences and cultural manifestations. The event will be streamed to over 120 countries, where thousands of young people will come together to spread the Genfest.

It will be a big festival of ideas, thoughts, and initiatives that will inspire thousands of young people from different cultures, ethnicities, and religions to live for a united world. All of this will be accompanied by music, choreographies, testimonies of experiences, best practices, and thematic paths.

It will be an opportunity to launch new projects and initiatives for the next 5 years. Genfest is also a cultural project that aims to raise awareness among as many young people as possible about the issues of interdependence, fair and sustainable development, and solidarity, in order to form a new generation within the cultural paradigm of fraternity and relationality. In this sense, the planned actions aim to bring about cultural changes, which means a new message and a critical perspective on central issues of the contemporary world, such as consumption-based lifestyles that are connected to global environmental problems and social justice.
