WOW Nepal is back for 2024!

The seventh edition of WOW Nepal will features talks, film screenings, live music, theatre performances, mentoring, activities for children, workshops and more. There is something for everyone at WOW.

WOW is organised by the British Council in partnership with The WOW Foundation. This year, the festival is hosted by Kathmandu Metropolitan City and made possible through collaborations with various organisations and individuals in Nepal and the UK.

WOW is happening at the Nandi Keshar Bagaincha (Narayanchaur), Naxal, Kathmandu. Each day, the festival starts at 8:00 AM and goes on until 8:00 PM. Join us for two days full of conversations, stories, music, arts, sharing and learning as we celebrate how far we have reached in our journeys towards gender equality and together, envision a more equal world. You can see the full line-up here.

The WOW Foundation works in partnership with amazing women and organisations to create WOW Festivals across the world. The WOW organisers in each location ensure the content is created by the local community for the local community. While each festival is different in its own wonderful, unique way, there are elements that stay consistent at every WOW Festival wherever you are in the world; from the WOW Marketplace to Under 10's Feminist Corners.

In the past decade, the WOW movement has grown from its London beginnings to find homes everywhere from Beijing and Kathmandu to Baltimore and Brisbane.

To date, there have been more than 100 festivals and events across six continents, reaching more than five million people from thousands of women in favelas at WOW Rio to Territory women at WOW Katherine.
