  Big cities are just gray and lifeless? That's not true! With our biodiversity project, we want to draw attention to the life around us and focus on the biodiversity of plants, mammals and insects in Copenhagen. To do this, we want to put on a fun event where everyone can become a citizen scientist for a day. Biodiversity is a topic close to your heart and you want to help raise awareness? Then this is your project! 

• Organize a Hackathon on green mobility with Region H.

  Help us create a hackathon where students, experts and other actors co-create solutions that address local mobility challenges in the Greater Copenhagen Area. By focusing on one specific sector for a two-days period we enable allocation of all the resources needed to come up with real solutions which can be applied and implemented in a real context. During the event students will be guided and supported by experts within mobility and get challenged in workshops. If you are ready to take meaningful climate actions and want to do it with like-minded people, this is your chance. 

• Do you want to speak your sustainable mind in a podcast series?

Are you passionate about a particular aspect of sustainability? Do you have experience with sound or editing?
