♻️ About the Workshop

Join us for Upcycling Creativity, a vibrant youth workshop where everyday discarded items are transformed into meaningful, artistic, or useful creations. Participants will explore how to turn textiles, jars, paper, plastics, and other recyclable materials into bags, décor, stationery, or artwork.

This workshop encourages creativity while raising awareness about sustainable living and reducing environmental waste. All materials are provided, and participants are welcome to bring recyclable items from home.

🧠 Why Upcycling?

Upcycling allows young people to express themselves creatively while learning practical sustainability skills. It reduces waste, saves resources, and gives old items a new life. Want to learn more about upcycling and the circular economy?
