Pencil cases, backpacks, handbags, toys… The CEU UCH students<\/strong> of Industrial Design Engineering and Product Development <\/a><\/strong>have turned their creativity into a collection of objects made from recyclable materials for their production and distribution in Senegal by women at risk of exclusion. Thanks to the collaboration of the NGO Formaci\u00f3n Senegal<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>, the manufacture of these products, made from the reused materials <\/strong>such as plastic tarpaulin and textiles that have been disregarded or already used, will provide a livelihood for hundreds of families in the Thi\u00e8s region, in Senegal. In addition, some of the products are distributed free of charge to schoolchildren in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creative process of the students of the CEU School of Design<\/strong>, who have have taken into account both the materials and the means of production available in the area, has been managed by Professor Manolo Ba\u00f1\u00f3<\/a><\/strong>, industrial designer and professor at CEU UCH, who has been managing the social design project Free Design Bank<\/a><\/strong> of this University for 20 years. As noted by Ba\u00f1\u00f3, \u2018despite the difficulties posed by the pandemic to carry out the project, the students of the CEU School of Design have made a great effort to present to the NGO Formaci\u00f3n Senegal a collection of functional designs, in accordance with Senegalese culture and made with recyclable materials donated by companies such as Jeanolog\u00eda to this NGO. With its production in Senegal, the students contribute, through the design of these products, to promote the circular economy and decent work<\/strong> in very vulnerable environments.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
