May 28: CE//MUSE Sustainability Festival at Blåsenhus and the Botanical Garden

Welcome to the second annual CE//MUSE Sustainability Festival!

On May 28th we gather for the second annual Sustainability Festival, hoping to inspire creativity and celebrate collaboration for a more sustainable world. Muses have been known to be the sources of inspiration for great artists, scientists, thinkers and activists. At the CE//MUSE festival we bring together the collective creative genius of CEMUS students, staff, partners and attendees to co-create a unique and inspiring festival.

Come for the interesting lectures, the experiential and creative workshops, the film screenings, the sustainability fair, the grand party with the live music and excellent food, and much more!

Admission to the festival is free! However, the whole festival is built on collaborative volunteer efforts by amazing people. The food and music in the evening is free, but our chefs and musicians would deeply appreciate any voluntary contributions you can make!
