BBK ODS Eguna takes the SDG-s out to the streets of Bilbao with cultural and leisure activities for all audiences

BBK Kuna opened its doors two years ago with a clear objective: to become the social innovation space in which different agents linked to the Development Goals participate in order to offer the society of Bizkaia solutions which respond to the challenges of the future. For this reason, the dissemination of the SDGs for the Home of the SDGs is a strategic pillar. Within this framework, after the success of the 2022 edition, BBK Kuna will hold a new issue of its BBK ODS Eguna on Saturday 23 September.

The date of the BBK ODS Eguna is not accidental. It coincides with another outstanding commemoration: in September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously approved Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, an action plan for people, the planet, prosperity and world peace.

Thus, for the second consecutive year, with BBK ODS Eguna, the City will be full of performances, games, workshops, sports, exhibitions or gastronomy and fashion proposals with one common goal: take the SDGs into the streets and bring them to all audiences.

The majority of the programme will be held in Doña Casilda Park, where, from the morning, the SDGs will be the protagonists of the free leisure and cultural activities and proposals for all ages.

BBK ODS Eguna will host three performances in the Pergola of the park with all those who come along to enjoy the programme.

  • 11:30 a.m. Fashion Revolution Euskadi. Action-performance to give visibility to the environmental as well as the social impact of the textile industry, focussing on the textile profession and recycling.
  • 1:00 p.m. ‘Reziklantes’, by Turukutupa. A street performance where we take a journey through different musical styles such as African and Latin percussion, as well as hip-hop and contemporary music. All the instruments used come from recycled and reused waste materials.
  • 4:30 p.m. Organik Dantza will perform ‘Ondoloin’. There are many rituals that children have before going to sleep: a story, a song, a teddy, leaving the light on… And, from the moment they fall into a deep sleep, they enter into another universe. In reality, they can be two very different universes and we do not really know why sometimes we have dreams and, other times, we have nightmares. What’s your worst nightmare? Which one repeats itself the most? And the dream you dream the most?
  • 6:00 p.m. ‘Terra Festa’, by Nuria M. Cres, a unique festival which combines animation, dance and also addresses Agenda 2030 and the SDGs in a playful way. ‘Terra Festa’ stands out for its creative and high-quality staging, with professional animators of the performing arts. In addition to the music, pedagogical topics are addressed related to sustainability and social responsibility.

The finishing touch takes place in the evening, when BBK ODS Eguna moves to the Guggenheim Esplanade to commence KUNA Fest, with Bulego, Olaia Inziarte and Supercremalleras. Which will run from 7:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.

  • Bulego won over audiences with their debut album, “Erdian Oraina”. Composed by Tomás Lizarazu, Itziar Beitia, Jon Larrañaga, Roben Lizarralde and Xabier Arrieta, this band is, undoubtedly, the biggest pop phenomenon at this moment in the Basque Country.
  • Olaia Inziarte is an artist from Navarre who has recently commenced to shape her solo project. Always closely attached to music by absorbing old and new influences and, without closing the doors to anything, she will present her new songs.
  • Supercremalleras is a pop-rock band from Gernika – Lumo. In 2021, they released their first album, “Aviones con vertigo”, full of pop-rock songs with catchy tunes and teasing lyrics. Last spring, they released the second LP “Arte Moderno y Amor Eterno”.

BBK ODS Eguna will also have an area for bars and foodtrucks so that the public can enjoy different gastronomic options. In addition, the day will be aimed at solidarity. The people attending may collaborate with the Bizkaia Food Bank through Bizum numbers activated throughout the Park.

PROGRAMME

  • SDG 1 / Racing to Advance (Game) From 11:30 a.m. to a 7:00 p.m. Doña Casilda Park.

A cooperative game in teams, animated by an instructor, where ingenuity to move the horses knows no boundaries. By using a water mill and the collaboration of the participants in each team, the horses advance by galloping to the finishing line.

One person wears the blindfold and the other acts as a guide.

  • SDG 11 / Interactive Botanical Garden. From 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Doña Casilda Park. At BBK KUNA.

Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. BBK ODS Eguna day has an in-person and physical element at Kuna headquarters. It is an empty and desolate space, completely dark except for the light on the lectern placed in the middle of the room. This consists of a survey with a set of pre-selected answers and which visitors select from their mobile devices. In front of the lectern a vertical garden is simulated on the wall in an abstract visual language. The development and the final shape of the garden will be the final testimony of the respondents translated into a visual language. This garden can be visited from anywhere and citizens may participate a limited number of times.

  • SDG 12 / Showcooking 0 Waste Sessions: 11:00-12:00 p.m. • 12:45-1:45 p.m. • 4:00-5:00 p.m. • 5:45-6:45 p.m. Limited seating: Registrations Doña Casilda Park.

Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. The site spatially recreates a food stall. The idea is to place value on actions that seek the better use of food resources. In addition, it has a showcooking type programme in which young chefs from Bizkaia participate and present their gastronomic proposals (small tasting of the preparations). These shows seek to teach those attending to use techniques and resources for using everyday food thus promoting responsible consumption. There will be 2 showcooking sessions throughout the day.

  • SDG 13 / No More Pollution (Game) From 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Doña Casilda Park.

Adopt urgent measures to combat climate changes and its impacts. Climate action encounters many obstacles along the way which prevent the development of this SDG’s activity. Here, participants have the opportunity to pave the way and facilitate the work of this SDG. In order to do this, visitors must tear down a pyramid built from objects which represent, for example, barrels of oil. Each pyramid hides a specific message as regards this SDG.

  • SDG 14 / Plogging in the River (Game) De 11:00 a.m. to a 7:00 p.m. Doña Casilda Park.

Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development. A “fishing area” will be generated in the stream that leads to the pond inviting people to fish. It turns out that the only thing biting on the fishing hook are contaminating wastes and elements. This activity aims to draw attention to the necessary protection of marine ecosystems from human activity. The activity is moderated/animated by two characters: one which seeks to find and collect the contaminating elements and the other which pollutes the river, generating a “good cop and bad cop” dynamic.

  • SDG 15 / Vertical Garden (Workshop) Sessions: 11:00-12:30 p.m. • 12:30-2:00 p.m. • 4:00-5:30 p.m. • 5:30-7:00 p.m. Limited seating: Registrations. Doña Casilda Park.

Bring the garden home using creativity. The workshop has a double a twofold objective, on the one hand bring the garden cycle to homes and on the other promote creativity, inventing as many models of vertical gardens as containers or waste there is in our environment.

  • SDG 16 / The Hammer (Side show) From 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Doña Casilda Park.

Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. A characteristic element at fairs and in this case in a festive atmosphere is when a hammer is used to strike a platform which releases a metallic element which hits a bell at the top. Usually, according to how hard it is hit, it reaches a level of the vertical scale, this level represents the soundness of public institutions against disruptive and external forces.

  • SDG 18 / Photocall. From 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Doña Casilda Park.

Cultural and linguistic diversity. What better than a strip of images to take home the fondest memory of ODS Eguna?
