ITINERARY

Day 1: Arrival and Introduction to Copenhagen
Upon arrival, you will settle into your accommodation and meet Alessio for an initial exploratory walk around the city. We will stroll through some of Copenhagen's most significant areas, starting to get to know the urban context and its relationship with sustainability.
For dinner, if possible, we will go to Absalon (which starts quite early, around 5:30 PM). If not, we will choose another option for a welcome dinner. If the dinner at Absalon takes place today, we will meet the team from Eat Wasted, who will show us how it’s possible to both reduce waste and create something new at the same time. Their project transforms surplus bread into pasta, helping to reduce food waste while feeding people in need.
