[ninja_form id=]Jan Terlouw, Chair of the Swedish Chamber Sustainability Committee and Managing Director of Saab Nederland BV., cordially invites all Young Professionals to the theatre performance "Abundance" by Patrick Nederkoorn and Sjoerd Groeskamp on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, at Orpheus in Apeldoorn. Physical oceanographer Sjoerd Groeskamp and comedian Patrick Nederkoorn join forces in this performance at a time when one alarming report on climate follows another. In the show, they blend comedy, climate, and science, taking you into their imagination of the future. Through humour, they shed light on the consequences of climate change. Following the performance, there will be a panel discussion where Patrick and Sjoerd engage in conversation with three prominent guests, discussing the question: what does the world look like in 2100? The Sustainability, Environment, and Security Platform (NPDMV) of the Dutch Defense and Security Industry Foundation (NIDV) aims to strengthen the Dutch Defense and Security sector through sustainability. Part of the platform's vision and ambition is to involve the younger generation in the sustainable transition of Defense and Police. To this end, the NPMDV is committed to introducing students and recent graduates with a passion for security and the environment to sustainability issues in this sector. Therefore, NPDMV is organizing an exclusive pre-program from 18:00-19:30, also held at Orpheus, where various invited organizations will give their vision on this theme in a panel discussion while enjoying soup with sandwiches. Participating organizations include NPDMV members, Defense, Police, Defensity College, Energy Defense Knowledge Network, and the Apeldoorn-Deventer-Zutphen Tri-city area. The pre-program and tickets for the theater performance are covered by NPDMV.

The Swedish Chamber's Young Professionals, in collaboration with Edge Workspace, is thrilled to announce the return of our highly successful Clothes Swap event, focusing on Circular Fashion. Mark your calendars for April 25th at Edge Stadium in Amsterdam, as we gather to explore the importance of circular fashion and embark on an evening of interactive and fun-filled experiences. Last year’s Clothes Swap event was a hit, and we’re excited to build on its success. We invite our members, associates, and coworkers from Edge to join us for what promises to be an enlightening blend of a social After Work gathering and a sustainable fashion-forward exploration. Discover why circular fashion is not just a trend but a vital aspect of sustainable living. Emma Wergeland, Project Leader for Young Professionals at the Swedish Chamber, emphasizes the significance of sustainability within our organization's focus areas: "In our Young Professionals program, we strive to organize engaging events that raise awareness about integrating sustainability into our professional as well as daily lives." This event exemplifies our commitment to fostering understanding and action toward sustainable fashion practices. At this year's Clothes Swap event, we are thrilled to welcome Andrea Orsag from MissionC, who will guide us in reimagining our relationship with fashion and highlight the transformative power of conscious consumer behaviour. Additionally, a professional stylist will be on hand to help you curate the perfect spring wardrobe from the swapped items. “The success of our Clothes Swap event of course depends on the enthusiastic participation of our Young Professional members and coworkers. By bringing in an item of clothing to exchange, you not only contribute to the circular economy but also gain the opportunity to refresh your wardrobe sustainably, without any cost” Emma says. Join us on April 25th as we come together to celebrate fashion, sustainability, and community at the Clothes Swap event! REGISTER HERE!
