The evening will continue with a lively debate and exchange with these projects and the audience.

  • At work: Try bringing in Hooba bikes for fresh air and exercise on the way to and from work, and/or Bulkbar for healthy nibbles after your bike session! And don’t forget Relieve Furniture if you want some new recycled desks!
  • Try your hand at citizen or corporate volunteering with Give A Day, based on your neighborhood and interests! 🌐
