Antalis has donated part of its ‘market stall’ exhibition stand to a school for students with special educational needs in Leicestershire, close to the company’s UK HQ
The stand featured at the Responsible Packaging Expo in London last year. At Maplewell Hall School in Woodhouse Eaves, which specialises in preparing SEN students for adulthood, it was reassembled as part of a problem-solving exercise for students. Now it is being used by students as part of their young enterprise studies in which they are learning how to set up and run a business, as well as allowing them to visualise a physical store and house their crafts, designs and business ideas.
The donation was facilitated by Coalville CAN, a community benefit society that provides spaces, support and opportunities to the local community. The market stall is being housed in additional learning space provided to the school by Coalville CAN.
