THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR PARTICIPATING, DONATING, AND TAKING ITEMS!
This Christmas we wanted to solve both the problem of Christmas consumerism, and the classic gift search. And so, we organized a SWAP Party in the department, where we not only found new homes for pre-loved items, but also delivered gifts at zero cost to those searching. In what follows you can find out all about the results of our first departmental SWAP Party, and the remaining items.
More than 300 items gathered

The morning of the department meeting, many people came to drop off sacks of clothes and items. After a count, we found out that we had nearly 300 items total!

During the meeting we saw the piles of items slowly disappear as people took them as gifts. We gave, to whoever we could, a small slip made of reused paper, thanking them for having swapped this year for Christmas.
The rest, donated to local organizations

Even after the success of the SWAP Party some objects remained. These were then donated to local nonprofits, Di Mano In Mano and La Foresta, for future re-use.

What is a SWAP Party?
For Christmas, the Sustainability Group is organizing a SWAP PARTY, which is a small market, or occasion, for exchanging unloved and high-quality used items and clothing! Items will be collected during collection days, and at the SWAP Party, they'll be free for all to take. That is, it will have been a SWAP!
