Have you ever participated in Swap Market? If yes: great, bring your experience and more friends to join. If not, discover here how much fun it can be – and try a different type of consumption…. Here we explain everything you should know about the SwapMarket during the Care-Days…
SwapMarket is a clothing exchange market with no associated monetary value. (There may be other markets with other products, but in this event we focus on fashion).
Each participant can exchange up to 10 pieces of clothing throughout the event.
To do this, just come and bring up to 10 pieces of clothing that you have at home in good condition: all of them are checked by the team and we do not accept pieces with stains and stains, pills, holes, broken seams.
When you reach the market, you can choose from the available clothes and exchange them for yours in equal numbers.
In addition to the SwapMarket, there will be a Small Sustainability Exhibition. Meet at the displaying tables people and projects supporting our event. There will also be a renovated maritime container developed as part of the PONTO DE TRANSIÇÃO project, where support will be provided on energy efficiency.
Come and find out more about some research projects in the area of sustainability and transformation. And if you’re hungry, there are some delicious vegan options as well as the local ice cream from Monte Caparica dos Fratellini!

Portugal is one of the European countries with the highest levels of energy poverty, which poses a serious risk to the well-being of communities. The pilot project “Transition Point” is an initiative of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, in partnership with ENA – Energy and Environment Agency of Arrábida, CENSE – Center for Research in Environment and Sustainability (FCT NOVA) and RNAE – Association of Energy and Environment Agencies (National Network).
With this initiative we intend to implement an innovative model of proximity at the level of the municipality to support families in improving the energy performance of their homes, contributing to a just energy transition of the country. The renovated maritime container will be at FCT NOVA campus from 26th to 30th of September to support our students, teachers and staff to improve the energy efficiency of their homes.
You will find experts in Mindfulness and Meditation at the stand of Conhecer-Se, who will also be able to inform you about the European project MP4S on Mindfulness in Higher Education.
