€20,900 donation to the Food Bank of Gipuzkoa and Mundukide

The Student and Worker Councils of Mondragon Goi Eskola Politeknikoa have donated the budget for social activities that they have not carried out due to COVID-19

---

Due to the crisis caused by COVID-19, it has not been possible to carry out a series of acts and activities that are held every year in Mondragon Goi Eskola Politeknikoa, such as the faculty party held in May or the traditional cultural excursion carried out annually by workers in July. Not having exhausted the planned budget, both the Student Council and the Social Council, the body representing the collective of workers, have decided to allocate this money to NGOs.

The Student Council has donated €15,900 to Mundukide, a non-governmental organisation that develops cooperation projects in developing southern countries and which has the support of the cooperatives of the MONDRAGON Corporation. This year, the Mondragon Goi Eskola Politeknikoa students have also wanted to make their contribution to the cooperation projects launched by Mundukide in developing countries.

In turn, the Social Council, representing the workers of the cooperative, has decided to allocate €5,000 to the Food Bank of Gipuzkoa. Workers have had the opportunity to vote among several projects, with the Food Bank being the initiative that has received the most support. Thus, the Mondragon Goi Eskola Politeknikoa workers’ collective wishes to support the groups most affected by the crisis caused by COVID-19.
