Day with a Difference

Camara Education – Corporate Programme

‘Get your company to join us for a ‘Day with a Difference’

Follow in the footsteps of rugby legend Jamie Heaslip and ace cricketer Trent Johnson and get your company to join Camara Education for a ‘Day with a Difference’.

An exciting office team building event, we ask companies to join us to pack a 40ft container with computers for shipping to Africa. It is aimed at smaller office groups (10-15 people) Duration is half-day. Located at our workshop at Camara Education, Chapelizod Industrial Estate, Dublin 20.

Companies are given a workshop tour and informed of the stages each computer goes through before it is reused in an African school. All those who part-take receive t-shirts, certificates and photo-ops for internal company publications. To help cover the costs of shipping the container to Africa, we ask for a financial contribution of €200 per person participating.

Company feedback has been extremely positive. It is a finite, tangible and enjoyable activity that teams while contributing to a good cause, also find enjoyable and rewarding. Companies also have the chance to take the ‘Camara Container Challenge’ and beat Jamie Heaslip and Trent Johnson’s packing record.

If you think this may be of interest to any Departments/Areas within your organisation please contact Joanne Callanan on 01 6857121 for further details. We would very much welcome an opportunity to meet and discuss further.
