Details on the Sunday event
We will meet at the Copenhagen Harbour bath at Islands Brygge. Hopefully the sun is out, and you can take a dip in the clean water or network with your fellow European young water minds. At 16:00 an electric boat will pick us up, and sail around in the harbour and the canals. You’ll get the chance to see the Danish capital from the water site. Marianne Skov from Rambøll will give a guided tour of the climate adaptation projects in Copenhagen, and we will also have a guide telling you about the tourist attractions of our beautiful capital (parliament, Little Mermaid etc).
During the trip, you can network, enjoy refreshments and hear about the historic buildings and site we are passing. The boat will leave us next to Reffen Street food market, where you can chill and enjoy food and drinks.
