Overview

«With the end of the holidays, a new chapter begins, needs are reconsidered bearing in mind the start of another school year, closets are revisited to try on clothes or to select school materials», contextualizes the organisation, noting that it is also the time to choose what it is to be kept and what is no longer needed.

After six years of touring the city, the market returns to «where it all began», the now-renewed Botanical Garden. The market will run from 10 am to 1 pm, by the Vandelli gate, the entrance next to the João de Deus Kindergarten.

Casa da Esquina, which organises the initiative in partnership with Ecosol/CES (studies group on solidarity economy that, since March 2008, brings together students and researchers linked to the UC Centre for Social Studies), recalls that «just bring toys, books, school materials, among other goods, a blanket and start bartering».
