8. Students’ Independence Day Torchlight Procession not organised this year

The student unions of the Capital Region have together decided not to organise the traditional Students’ Independence Day Torchlight Procession as a physical event this year. The organising parties came to the conclusion that organising a public event for several thousand students would not be responsible in the current coronavirus situation.

Instead of a procession, students will mark Independence Day with video greetings published from 6.00 pm onwards on Independence Day, 6 December.
