On Wednesday the 21st of December, Sandymount Park ETSS is having its very own annual Intercultural Weihnachtsmarkt. The event will run from start at 9am to 11am. Parents are invited to come along to purchase from our amazing stalls and to enjoy the wonderful performances! The market will feature the following stalls and events:
- Sustainable Swap Shop
- International Food Fair
- Sandymount Singers
- Enterprise Gifts
- Amber Flag Holiday Well-being Tips
- Tae agus Plé
- School Bank
- Art Club Exhibition
- Young Scientists
- Sandymount Press
- Library Recommendations
- Kaffee und Lebkuchen
The enterprise gifts are part of the TY enterprise project. Multiple mini-companies will be selling their products at the market. Sandymount Park’s very own entrepreneurs offer exclusive items such as hydrating lip gloss, calming candles, jewellery, comic books and more.
The Sustainable Swap Shop is a new addition to the market… students can donate a minimum of two pieces of clothing or purchase tokens. They can then exchange the tokens or clothes for clothes donated by others! All clothing must be in good condition, clean and dry. All donations can be left inside the designated box in room 20. The price of two tokens is €2. The goal of the swap shop is to promote environmentally friendly ways of shopping and to discourage fast fashion. Not only will students make an environmentally conscious choice, they will also save money on new, fashionable clothes!
The Amber Flag committee will also have a stand at the market. The Amber Flag is a Pieta House program which aims to promote positive mental health in schools. Christmas can be a difficult time for some people so our Amber Flag committee will have a stall featuring different tips and supports to help you get through this Christmas season.
We would love you to come along to the market on the 21st of December! All students and parents are welcome. Also, remember to bring in clothes for the swap shop! Please note only cash is accepted.
