About this Event
💛 Berlin Swap Market is all about sharing, connecting, and giving things a second life.
It started with a simple thought in our community around Boxhagener Platz: we all have things at home we no longer use, while someone else might need them. So, why not exchange with our neighbors instead of buying more? ✨
📆 November 22 | 2–4 PM
📍 Urbayn Berlin
Bring along at least 2–3 items you’d love to pass on to someone else:
🪞 Clothes | 🛠️ Tools | 🧺 Household items | 📖 Books | 👟 Shoes | 🍽️ Kitchenware | 🧸 Toys | 🖥️ Electronics | 🪭 Accessories | 🏋️ Sportswear and more!
We want to create a space where neighbors can exchange things, discover something new, and be part of a more conscious way of consuming together ♻️
