cross learning from the organizations across the globe and accelerate the impact Catalyst 2030 is a movement that brings people working towards SDG goals together to accelerate the impact . Having worked in the space of education and performing arts in the last 10 years, I believe performing art forms have a great impact in being the carriers of messaging in an effective manner. Performing arts as standalone has its own charm and impact, however , when blended with specific goals and imagination of impact , it becomes a channel to reach many people in many formats that touch them instantly . We are on a mission to use our traditional artforms in the true essence of the purpose of performing artforms, for us being in a network of organizations like Catalyst 2030 , gives an exposure to individuals and organizations doing great work. This will help us collaborate , learn and apply to performing artforms. Performing arts in India as a sector has limited opportunities of exposure of people working outside of the art forms. These forums will help us and the artists to push our boundaries , blend in and make meaningful art productions.
