Join us for a thought-provoking workshop hosted in collaboration with Stop Ecocide Denmark, the national branch of Stop Ecocide International - a global movement working to to make the large-scale destruction of ecosystems a recognized crime under national and international law.

But what exactly is ecocide? And how could an ecocide law protect nature?

In this workshop, you will reflect on our relationship with nature, explore why current laws often fail to prevent nature destruction, and discuss the transformative potential of a Danish ecocide law.
Expect a dynamic, interactive format with open dialogue, shared reflections, and a collective call to imagination and political action. Together, we will create a piece of art inspired by ecocide, justice, and planetary care, which will be showcased in a month-long exhibition at Domen, a unique space for reflection and awareness.

Whether you’re a curious citizen, an artist, a policymaker, or just wondering how the law can protect the planet, this is a space to learn, imagine, and connect.
Time and Place: Domen | Sunday 21st of September 14.00-15.30
Language: English
The workshop is part of a collaborative campaign by SED, Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke and 8 other Aarhus based NGO’s, urging local politicians to support a national ecocide law through a petition.
