The festival, with the theme: “Future Proof” is focused on community development and sustainability.

The academic festival is scheduled to hold as shown below:

Focused on climate awareness, sustainability, and the environment, the festival will begin with a symposium which will feature experts from ecotourism, conservation, web3 technology, finance, urban development, circularity, governance, and developmental aid.
The symposium aims to give youth volunteers the opportunity to create research papers during a residency program at Popbeachclub, thus, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. Papers created will offer insights into the environment’s current state and future development, promote engagement, awareness, and responsibility among the youth.
The academic festival will focus on the Badagry creek with interest in the communities around it, its legal rights, marine life, plant and animal life and open up opportunities for further studies on creating sustainable cities for living.
