Books, Cakes and coffee sale in CPC

A combined Book Sale, Cake Sale and pop-up Coffee Shop event will be held in the CPC Assembly Hall on Tuesday 8 May, to raise funds for Active Learning Stools, writes Brian Byrne.

The organisers are requesting book and cake donations in the meantime, and money donations from those who can't attend but would like to help will be very welcome.

All coffee for the afternoon — from 2pm-4.30pm — has been sponsored by Nespresso.

Everything on sale will cost €2.

Active learning stools are used in informal sessions in classrooms, and allow the students to move while sitting down, helping to offset the problems of a normal sedentary classroom which can include sleepiness, inattention, and even lead to issues such as obesity.
