Swap Party – Barter Festival

Bartering is back in fashion in Calice Ligure

The Swap Party – Barter Festival is the event dedicated to the free exchange of used items held in Calice Ligure, a town in the hinterland of the province of Savona. In Piazza Cesio, in the heart of the village, clothing, accessories, and tools find new owners without any exchange of money: you bring what you no longer use and take what you need, in a simple and virtuous gesture.

Sustainability and circular economy

The initiative promotes the values of sustainability and the circular economy: reducing waste, extending the life of objects, and rethinking our relationship with consumption. The Swap Party is a concrete opportunity to put conscious habits into practice, in a convivial atmosphere open to all.

The SFUSO DIFFUSO project

The event is part of the SFUSO DIFFUSO project, of which the Municipality of Calice Ligure is a founding partner, dedicated to waste reduction and the promotion of sustainable lifestyles. The exchange of items thus also becomes a moment of awareness and community building.

Calice Ligure, an environmentally conscious village

With initiatives like the Barter Festival, Calice Ligure confirms itself as a small village in the Savona hinterland attentive to environmental issues and social cohesion. An example of how even smaller communities can promote good practices and a culture of sustainability.
