Goal
The Alternative Food Club. A concept that focuses on social and green sustainability, where we focus on the local community!In Den Alternative Madklub, we create events that focus on social, economic and green sustainability. We put things up for debate to activate and inspire people to take a stand on the society we live in, while at the same time hoping that people will take the message into their own everyday lives.
To work with sustainability in practice, we serve free surplus food at the events, which simultaneously creates the opportunity to include people across social structures. The events themselves each have a sustainable theme, which is highlighted through various activities. This could, for example, be through debates, dialogues, lectures etc. Most often, the evening also ends with a festive element.
