INTRODUCTION
On December 17th and 18th, in the Atrium of the Main Building, between 11 am and 4 pm, we invite the entire academic community – students, teachers, staff and researchers – as well as their families and friends to participate in the Christmas Market, an event dedicated to the circular economy, sustainability and the spirit of sharing.
This market is the perfect opportunity to give new life to items you no longer use, showcase your handcrafted products, or share Christmas treats, contributing to a more responsible and compassionate Christmas.
You can participate by exchanging used items such as clothing, shoes or books (in good condition), displaying/selling handmade or personalized products, or selling sweets, cakes and other Christmas treats. Other creative ideas that promote the Christmas spirit and sustainability are also welcome.

Registration is open until December 12th.
