Sustainable living at the clothes swap

Giulia Malisani • 8 november 2023

Young people shared their ideas for sustainable living with a small purse

Last Saturday, we attended the Clothing Swap event organized by Buurtbel Wittevrouwen, where we also led a small silent brainstorming session. During this activity, participants had the opportunity to reflect on their aspirations for a more sustainable lifestyle. We gathered many fresh and disparate ideas and insights, ranging from eco-friendly practices to more conscious choices. In parallel, we delved into the individual challenges they face on their journey toward sustainability. Overall, the brainstorming turned out to be an inspirational twist, allowing everyone to contribute their vision for a greener world.

We are committed to presenting the findings from this and other collaborative events to the Utrecht municipality with the aim of designing new projects geared toward making sustainable living more accessible and achievable for all. Join us at our upcoming brainstorming events to add your voice to this sustainable future! Check out the agenda here.

What: The Province of Utrecht has a new 10-year plan for the countryside ( UPLG ). It impacts everything: water levels, soil rules, and farming grants. Do you agree with their plan? The Event: Join the "Young Voices" Policy Sprint . This isn't a lecture. It is a working session where we analyze the government's proposal and write an official "Zienswijze" (consultation response). Why join? ● Real Impact: Your feedback goes directly to the Province before the Feb 16 deadline. ● Networking: Work alongside young farmers, fellow Students, province based organisations and policy experts. When: January 8, 2026 | 09:00 – 13:00 Where: Huis van Actief Burgerschap, Utrecht (to be confirmed)
