Sustainability Soirée

16 July 2022 16:00-20:00The Astbury

Sustainability Soirée

On behalf of the Sweden Alumni Network - Philippines (SAN-PH), we are inviting you to our Sustainability Soirée; a private, onsite event happening on July 16, Saturday, 4:00 to 8:00 PM at The Astbury in Poblacion, Makati City.

This event aims to redefine sustainable living, and will showcase stories of people who are thriving in alternative lifestyles – because we believe that “alternative” is sustainable. What the COVID-19 pandemic has shown us is that there are limitless possibilities to how we can move, live, and achieve. All these new possibilities create positive social impact to our communities.
