In order to introduce the upcoming week-long event, Green Week, Oikos Copenhagen has organized a little warm up event in collaboration with CBS Photography. In fact, until the end of Green Week you will have the chance to check out CBS Photography’s very first photo exhibition in front of Cafè Nexus.

The theme, set by the Green Week team, was “sustainability in Copenhagen”. Through a photo-walk aimed at capturing the sustainable initiatives in the city, CBS Photography managed to gather 22 pictures that try to bring attention to the different sides of what sustainability really means in a city like Copenhagen.

Green Week is a yearly event organized by Oikos Copenhagen with the aim of raising awareness on the topic of sustainability at CBS. During the week, students have the chance to attend several lectures, workshops, and other kinds of activities such as sustainable fashion shows and green tastings. It is also a chance to put students in contact with experts within the field and to learn about potential job opportunities.

This year, companies such as Rambøll, Accenture, Ørsted, EY, Siemens, Nimb, and Green Tech Challenge will participate and give students insights into what sustainability means for each one of them and their respective core activities. Green Week will run on the 13th, 14th and 15th of March at Solbjerg Plads.
