Sustainability Day

  • Colours of Being 12 Textilgatan Göteborg, Västra Götalands län, 415 11 Sweden (map)

A day to step beyond the headlines — and into a conversation that matters.

For those who sense that sustainability is about more than recycling and carbon offsets — and are ready to explore the connection between nature, food, economy and collective responsibility.

Sustainability is everywhere. But how often do we pause to ask what it really means — in our own lives, our choices, our economic assumptions? This day is an exploration, from three interconnected angles, of the systems we live inside — and the roles we play within them.

Expect nature, honest conversation, and film.

PROGRAMME

Angle 1 — Nature‍10:00 – 11:30

Nature Connection Experience
Location: Trädgårdsföreningen

We begin outdoors. Laurence Nachin guides us through a multi-sensory nature connection experience — a chance to slow down, tune in, and remember what we are part of before the conversations begin. Immerse ourselves through our senses in Trädgårdsföreningen’s atmosphere. We will use smell, hearing, sight, touch and taste, but also unique concepts specific to nature and forest bathing. Let’s experience together what it feels being one with nature again!

Angle 2 — Consumption & Food‍ 13:00 – 14:30

Panel discussion: Food for Thought – Sustainability Beyond Definition.
Location: Colours of Being

Sustainability is a hype word. Everyone talks about it. We approach it differently. This is a conversation shaped together — between panellists and audience — with space for the things we don't usually say. Our moderator will take the devil's advocate role. From food waste to supply chains, greenwashing to economic assumptions: what is really happening? What are we not talking about? And what can we do now?

Discuss with the four panelists:
Corina Akner [Värt Sweden],
Devansh Mehta [Colours of Being],
Prithvesh Ashok [Climate Activist, MSc Industrial Ecology],
Alejandro Petrizzo [MSc Industrial Ecology]
moderated by Swan Hering [Colours of Being].

Recorded for the Colours of Being Podcast.

Angle 3 — Economy‍ 15:00 – 17:00

Movie Screening “Outgrow the System”
Location: Colours of Being

Screening of Outgrow the System, followed by an open thought exchange. The documentary explores emerging economic perspectives and poses a bold question: if we want to change the system, not just the climate — what system are we actually ready to build?

Price for Angle 3 “Economy” [student | general admission]
[65 SEK | 110 SEK]

 

Some words from Colours of Being

We created this day because we believe real sustainability begins with honest conversation — and honest conversation begins with the willingness to sit with uncomfortable questions together, in playful exploration. This is what Colours of Being is about.

We'd love to be with you there. If this resonates, share it with someone who needs a day like this. See you on the 18th.
