Sziget Festival has launched the SZociety Movement and the SZuper SZociety Award to support professionals, civil organizations, and communities working to improve the mental well-being of young people, the festival's organizers said on Monday.
The organizers told MTI in a statement that today's teenagers and young adults faced unprecedented mental pressures from a constant online presence, performance anxiety, and digital noise, which often led to stress, burnout, or loneliness. The SZociety initiative aims not only to highlight these challenges but also to stand by those who provide daily support to young people, Andrea Vidó, the chief organizer of Civil Sziget, said.
A key element of the initiative is the SZuper SZociety Award, which recognizes civil organizations, educational institutions, communities, and programs that contribute significantly to the well-being of young people, fostering connection and sustainable communities. Applications are open in two categories – Bázis and Horizont – for local and national initiatives until midnight on July 19. Eligible applicants must have been actively working for at least one year to support the mental health, social connection, and community-building of 12- to 30-year-olds.
The SZociety Movement works year-round to connect support organizations with companies and cultural actors who can assist their work. Contributions such as concert tickets, festival passes, or a relaxing weekend can help supporters recharge and extend their reach to more young people. The winners will be announced on the Sziget Main Stage during the festival.
