Still looking for Christmas presents? Do you want something that is unique and sustainable at the same time?

Then come to our Alternative Christmas Market this Saturday, Dec 8th at Domkyrkoforum!

Next to vendors selling their environmentally-friendly and fair trade products, we will offer workshops on how to reuse old materials and clothes to make cool presents out of them!

Take a look at the facebook event for more information!

April Sabucco will share her experiences with starting her own urban gardening project in California, USA.

What started off as a summer intern’s proposal for the municipality of Long Beach, developed over the months and became a unique space right in the center of Long Beach.

Let’s all enjoy some fair trade, organic fika and learn more about urban gardening as an approach to connecting people and their food with the city. And as always within the GREEN TALK tradition, there is also room for questions, discussion and sharing of ideas!

The event will be for free and earnings from the fika will go to support ABC’s international work. So join us on Wednesday, November 14th at 18:30 at the Social Science Student Union, Paradisgatan 5S.
