Swap Circle at Union – Let’s start swapping!
May 3, 2025 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Spring is here! Why not refresh our wardrobes in a sustainable way? Come and join our Swap Circle – a day of happenings and workshops on sustainability – all in support of Migrantcirklen, Copenhagen’s refugee community and its users of asylum seekers.
The day will be filled with activities for all ages, as well as a small introduction to Migrantcirklen’s work for refugees, migrants and asylum seekers in Denmark.

WHY
Swapping clothes is a great, sustainable alternative to buying something new.
By swapping clothes instead of purchasing new ones, we can reduce textile waste and decrease the demand for new production by extending the life of your garments. We’ll also be supporting a good cause!

Any leftover clothes in good condition will be donated to the families of Migrantcirklen’s users living in asylum centres – hereby ensuring that your pre-loved items continue to make a positive impact!
