F/262 – International Photography Festival is a biennial festival of contemporary photography held in Caldas da Rainha, recognised as a UNESCO Creative City. The project uses photography and visual culture as tools for reflection, education and community engagement around themes such as environmental sustainability, water, territory, identity and social inclusion. The festival brings public spaces, museums, schools and cultural venues to life, promoting open-air exhibitions, educational activities, workshops, talks and community initiatives. Through the F/SOS – Stories of Solidarity platform, it develops projects with social impact, raising the profile of communities and promoting cultural accessibility and citizen participation. F/262 integrates sustainable practices into its production, including the reuse of structures, waste reduction, local partnerships, environmental actions and raising awareness of responsible behaviour. The project contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in the areas of education, culture, climate action, sustainable cities and the involvement of local communities.
