A group of [Oxford](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stephen-a-schwarzman-centre) undergraduate students posed for an upcoming calendar to raise money for developing countries. While the students were photographed doing the usual Oxford activities (studying, drinking, enjoying a boat ride, etc.), they decided to get down to their birthday suits and bare all for the [charitable calendar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebay-and-this-is-beauty).

While many Oxford alum and staff are not too happy about the [nude pictures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toy-stories), the £10 pricetag gave many of the 60 participating students a “liberating” experience.

Check out the gallery above for a peek at the Oxford charity calendar.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Charity Calendars:** Creating charity calendars featuring unconventional photos or themes can offer a new way to raise money for a charitable cause and create controversy.
- **Body Positivity:** Using nudity in promotional materials to promote body positivity can be a winning strategy, as long as it aligns with the brand identity and target audience.
- **College Fundraising:** College students can get creative with fundraising efforts, such as creating a risqué calendar, to support causes they care about and gain new experiences.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Charities:** Charities can take advantage of unconventional fundraising methods such as creating nude calendars to raise awareness and funds for their cause.
- **Publishing:** Publishing companies can benefit from partnering with charities to create unique calendars that tell a story and align with their brand values.
- **Higher Education:** Higher education institutions can encourage students to get creative with their fundraising efforts, such as creating a nude calendar, to support charitable causes and gain valuable life experiences.
