Host a ‘Big Swap Shop Party’

The Big Swap Shop Party’ offers the perfect opportunity to declutter your wardrobe, catch up with friends and bag yourself some seriously sustainable style, without leaving the comfort of your home! This Climate Action Week let’s make preloved fashion the ‘Latest Trend’. Host your own Big Swap Shop Party by following our 5 easy steps: Host, Swap, Chat, Pledge, and Post!

Host: Plan and host a Big Swap Shop Party in your own home, inviting your most fashionable pals!

Swap: It’s time to give that ‘too small coat’ and those ‘why did I buy those flares’ a new home! Discover the joy of decluttering your old clothes and swapping them for new-to-you threads while also being super sustainable!

Chat: Use  ‘The Big Swap Shop Party’ as an excuse to catch up with family, friends, and neighbours and start a conversation about climate action and circular fashion!

Pledge: Encourage your attendees to pledge to host their own ‘The Big Swap Shop Party’ soon. Let’s make this party a circular movement that keeps going beyond Climate Action Week.

Post: Spread the word about ‘The Big Swap Shop Party’ and the importance of circular fashion – Post your plans. Post about your party. Post your ‘Swap Shop Hauls’! And remember to tag us on @climateambassador & use the hashtags #BigSwapShopParty #ClimateActionWeek.

Make Your Game Campaign

Download our print and play version of Face Your Floods, and design the boardgame for your area. Face your Floods is a new game from Climate Smart, designed to teach all about Climate Adaptation in a novel and engaging way. Compete against your classmates to see who is best at protecting their home community and be elected as mayor of their town.

But first: you need to make the board. Identify the flood threats of your local area and use our easy map overlay to customize the board map for your area. Print it out on A3, and off you go. Share pics during #ClimateActionWeek so we can see how you are learning to adapt!
