Become a Changemaker
As a Changemaker, you contribute to driving sustainable societal change. We are all part of the change needed to achieve Aarhus’s, Denmark’s, and the UN’s goals.
Find inspiration to do sustainable action
Greenlight Aarhus unites an entire city community around sustainable change. Changemakers participate across the various sectors of the city: Citizens, Businesses, Educational Institutions, Culture and Association activities, and the Municipality. Become inspired by current Changemakers.
Plan your own activities
The programme for Greenlight Aarhus is open source. This means that you arrange your own activities and enter them into the programme.
You develop your own agenda when you plan activities as part of the Greenlight event week. Your activities should aim to demonstrate how you work with sustainability and need to be oriented towards the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
It is free of charge to be part of Greenlight Aarhus, and Changemakers are free to earn money from their activities. Green transition also means green turnover. Our ambition to create a modern, sustainable urban community entails sustainable consumption.

Being a Changemaker
Why is it important to be a Changemaker?
This is why we need to unite as a city around a shared goal: helping each other to accelerate the sustainable transition in Aarhus through a shared effort. Therefore, it is important that we all become part of the transition to become a green and responsible community.

Become a sponsor
As a sponsor, you choose and donate a given amount to operations and/or development of Greenlight, events and Greenlight’s programme platform.
As a main sponsor, you can influence the agenda for the development of Greenlight, e.g., the choice of project areas prior to the annual urban event.
As a sponsor, you support the sustainability agenda and goals, help promote Aarhus as a sustainable pioneer city, and contribute to illustrating “the Scandinavian model” in practice.
A sponsorship is not necessarily financial; other examples are the Greenlight project office, bookkeeping, accountancy, event and meeting venues, installations in the city during Greenlight, films about Greenlight and much more.
As a sponsor, you will stand out as a sustainable first mover. You will receive public recognition as a sponsor (if you wish) and be mentioned in a press release, on our website, social media, and other means of communication. Also, sponsors can communicate about the sponsorship via their own communication channels and use Greenlight’s brand identity.
