Students of the Degree in design of the University launch a solidarity initiative to raise funds for La Palma

Twelve third-year students from the Degree in design of the University of Navarra have designed bracelets under the slogan "Distance unites us" with the aim of goal to raise funds for La Palma. "The initiative arose as a result of seeing all the news about the volcano, between us we commented on several occasions the status and we thought it would be a good idea to design something to collaborate with the cause and be able to help them," explains Paula Gimeno, a student at the School of Architecture. 

"Later we communicated it to the School's management, who supported us with great enthusiasm. We contacted department Merchandising of the University of Navarra to materialize the idea. At the same time we worked on creating a video and a poster to advertise proposal so that the students would be aware of it and could also collaborate," adds the student from design.

The bracelets are available in five different colours and can be purchased at the Museo Universidad de Navarra and at different points of campus of the University. The funds raised will be donated in their entirety to the Caritas delegation of La Palma. The students have also organised themselves to sell these solidarity bracelets at the doors of the buildings of the campus in Pamplona.
