ULisboa Christmas Solidarity Campaign “18 Escolas, 18 Ajudas”

The Christmas Solidarity Campaign takes place from 5th to 16th December.

The Universidade de Lisboa (ULisboa) will organise the Christmas Solidarity Campaign “18 Escolas, 18 Ajudas”, from 5th to 16th December 2022, which aims to support the project “A Fábrica dos Sonhos” (“The Dream Factory”), developed by “Cova do Mar”, a non-profit organisation.

ULisboa will support the project’s mission by collecting food and toys. This solidarity campaign aims to deliver 35 food baskets and 35 toy kits to families supported by “Cova do Mar”.

The following food products will be collected: milk, pasta, rice, olive oil, oil, and canned food (tuna, sausages, beans, and chickpeas). The 35 food baskets will be prepared with these products.

Each toy kit will consist of:

· 1 Book “Quando for grande quero mudar o mundo!” – IRISOCIAL
· 1 Book “O lápis mágico da Malala” – Editorial Presença
· 1 Board game “Adivinha Quem é?”
· 1 Board game “Monopoly Júnior” or Monopoly Speedy”
· 1 Creative Arts Kit (with coloured felt pens, plasticine)

Since it is a solidary campaign, it is suggested that the academic community get together as a group, with colleagues or friends, and participate by delivering the chosen items to complete the Toy Kits, so that they can be similar.

There are collection points in each ULisboa School and also in the Rectorate building, “Cantina Velha” and the Museum of Natural History and Science.

At Técnico – Alameda campus, the collection point is located in the main building, near the Christmas tree, until 16th December (Friday).
