SustaIN - Sustainable Initiatives Network

SustaIN is an independent nonprofit NGO advocacy network of businesses, projects and citizens. We work for a transition to a sustainable society through projects, events and by inspiring politicians to take action. We believe the transition to a sustainable society should be implemented by: 1) Raising awareness and creating debate about the mayor challenges of our time, and the ways in which we can deal with these challenges. 2) Inspiring citizens, politicians and companies to take action. 3) Creating synergy between sustainable initiatives as civil society, the public and the private sector. Current activities: 1) Member activities We send out a monthly News Letter and Activity Calendar. Furthermore we arrange activities like talks, debates and movie screenings. 2) SustaIN Festivals We organise annual SustaIN Festivals in Aarhus (April) and Copenhagen (November) while spreading the concept to other cities in Denmark and Europe. SustaIN festivals are centred around culture, knowledge and lifestyle and celebrates sustainable initiatives.
