In the tradition of our green footprint campaign at the Colloquium 2019 in Lille and waste reduction initiatives at the Colloquium 2023 in Paris, we would like to implement the same for the 2023 Colloquium. Here's what we are implementing and we ask speakers, exhibitors and delegates to participate!

Tote bag drive: 
1. Bring your own tote bag for your own use 
2. Bring one or several bags to donate to the tote bag drive. For those in need, we will reuse totebags distributed upon request. 

Reduction of plastic and paper use: 
1. Bring your own cups, cutlery, plates. 
2. Online conference program (no program will be printed but there will be more signage around the venue as well as digital versions).
3. Exhibitors to contribute minimal plastic/non plastic give-aways for conference participants.

Book Exchange: 
In 2022, this member-initiated exchange was well-received so we are hoping to grow it for this year. 
1. Bring your pre-loved books that deserve a new home.
2. Place your books in the designated Exchange area. 
3. Take home the pre-loved books you want.

English language novels, board games and teaching books are all welcome! All uncollected materials will be donated after the conference.
