Our schools Open Night was on Tuesday the 20th of November 2012. For this night we, as Transition years, were given a room in which we could promote our Young Social Innovators project, “Be Irish, Buy Irish.”
We constructed a brochure highlighting all of the Irish brands that are in shops or that are available in and around New Ross. We also have a comparison of Irish brand prices against foreign brand prices i.e. Heinz ketchup against chef ketchup.We handed these brochures out to the parents of the girls who came in.
We made stickers on which we stated our YSI project name, and also our class.
We bought Irish decorations like ribbons, balloons and Irish flags. We decorated the room with these. We also hung up posters on the walls. The posters contained information on what products are Irish and what products are foreign or imported. We spent the last week drawing out and colouring a massive poster promoting our main point “Spend €4 extra on guaranteed Irish products and you could create 6,200 jobs.”
We painted shamrocks and Irish flags on our cheeks and we offered face painting of Irish flags and Irish tattoos to the possible future mercy students who came into open night.
We did taste tests where we had Club orange and Tayto versus Fanta orange and Walker’s. While the majority of people preferred Walker’s crisps, most people preferred Club orange over Fanta.
We conducted a quick survey with everyone who visited our room where we asked them where they usually shop, what they would buy, and if they would be willing to buy Irish.
Overall, the night was a big success and we all had a lot of fun.
