Kursusindhold:
The Roskilde Festival brings together around 80.000 people within a short time period. This can give rise to tremendous challenges if the waste is not managed properly. Un-collected waste may create health problems, odour, and may provide the festival participants with an overall bad impression of the event. Collection and subsequent treatment and recycling of the waste itself also have different environmental impacts. The students will work in groups to propose solutions for the waste management at Roskilde Festival, before, during, and after the event. And also discuss the environmental consequences of these solutions. The project work will be carried out in collaboration with the festival organizers. Based on the work, each group will report their findings in a written report.
