Christmas is Goood at Kenta

by Camilla Camata
christmas is goood at kenta, ethical christmas market, ethical christmas shopping in milanChristmas is goood - a  whole week dedicated to a sustainable Christmas - will take place from December 15th to December 19th, at Fabbrica Sassetti, headquarters of Fondazione Kenta. 
Christmas is goood at Kenta aims to be an occasion to shop beautifully and consciously, one that creates value in our community and does not weigh on the environment, where brands  are selected according to ethical and aesthetic criteria. The main event held will be the Christmas Market where handcrafted, refined, ethical and sustainable products will be sold. Alongside, daily events will be organised, some of which open to the public (the Christmas Market) and others only accessible upon registration. Different themes ranging from sustainability to active citizenship will be covered: the goal is not only to create virtuous connections, critical thinking and have fun, but also promote a beautiful and fun Christmas that can be good and sustainable for the entire community.
The goal is to “make” the Christmas we would like: without plastic, caring for the environment, supporting local communities, but in style.
The events held during the week all share the same purpose: to build a cool and sustainable Christmas. We will begin with an opening night, with a special focus on the charity lottery hosted by Guido Taroni. The proceeds will be donated to City Angels, an association that helps homeless people providing meals and shelter, especially in the cold of winter. Therefore, the idea is to give the possibility to create a Christmas that is more "goood" for everyone, giving back a little of what we have.
Then, there will be a yoga class by Selvaggia Alazraki, designed for those who love physical and spiritual well-being. During the lesson we will use accessories that combine functionality and aesthetics for a truly immersive experience.
It will be possible to participate in Trick or Trap: Green Taboo a sustainable taboo game organised by AWorld, the only UN endorsed app that promotes a sustainable lifestyle. AWorld will measure the environmental impact of the events, in line with the One Million Actions project launched by AWorld with the support of the UN. 
Finally, the Swapush Swap Party will give the opportunity to recycle gifts from past Christmases in a fun and sustainable way.
