Copenhagen Sustainability Day
We are looking forward to see you!
Come and celebrate Earth Day at Studenterhuset by participating in Actory’s first ever Copenhagen Sustainability Day!
Join talks by academics in the field, fun waste workshops, a clothes swap, eat with us and stay for quiz, drinks & pizza in the evening.

SWAP MARKET
Don’t Shop. Swap. Reuse is the most sustainable form of consumption as it does not require the addition of new resources, but instead gives new life to old things that are too good to be thrown away and can be used again.
Are your old summer dresses just hanging around the closet? Did you never get to use that pair of shoes your mom got you for Christmas? At our swap market you can hand in things you no longer use, and perhaps find something you can enjoy.
FOOD
- At 12:00 we will serve free vegan sandwiches for the first 50 participants.
- We will also use this opportunity to mark Actory’s 1st birthday. In January, Actory started into its second year – and we didn’t have the chance to celebrate yet. So we will give a very short speech and serve cake.
- At 18:00 there will be some pizza – and the bar is open (bar is not for free).
EVENING
In the evening we go from talks, workshops and the swap market to another kind of entertainment. We’ll have a pub quiz, drinks and pizza – and just enjoy good company.
