Volunteering for Swappers stop. (Creativity and Service)

Swappers stop was an event organized by the Business management and economics team. The event focused on promoting environmental sustainability. The event was based on swapping good quality goods which are not in use and can be swapped by other students. The event included sustainable decorations, sustainable invitations, food, music, and stalls for swapping items. Every time we stop using clothes, jewelry, old board games, shoes, etc we throw them resulting in a huge amount of waste.

While planning, we had to make sure that the event consisted of sustainable decorations with innovative ideas it was very challenging  As a team, we decided to make use of waste resources available at our school and home. We made use of old worksheets, torn chart papers, acrylic colors, plastic bottles, and more, to come up with something creative. time management was also a challenging part for us and because we could not meet the deadline on time we were also called in early-in.
