Clothes Swapping in the Nordic House!

Clothing Swap Market at the Nordic House – June 10th!

Are you tired of that pile of clothes you never wear, just sitting there taking up space? Is the only thing you’re missing to be fully summer-ready a few cool new items? Would you like to avoid supporting fast fashion and a climate-damaging clothing industry?

Now you have the chance to hit three birds with one stone!
Interns from the Nordic embassies, the Nordic House, and the organization Seeds are hosting a clothing swap market, where you can “shop” a whole new wardrobe of pre-loved items while also learning more about circular consumption!

Also! In collaboration with Ungir Umhverfissinnar, we’ll have a presentation about the clothing industry and its environmental impact.

Mark your calendar!  – June 10th 14:00-17:00

Program: 

• Presentation by Antonia Hamann from Ungir Umhverfissinar /Young Environmentalists (UU): 14:00-14:30
• Clothes Swapping! 14:30 – 17:00
