DIY Upcycling Workshop

The DIY Upcycling Workshop is a hands-on activity tailored for Climate Resilience Groups, designed to promote sustainability through creative reuse of everyday items. This 30-minute workshop, ideal for small to medium-sized groups, offers participants a practical introduction to upcycling and its environmental benefits. By repurposing items like glass jars, old t-shirts, and plastic containers, participants engage directly in reducing waste and enhancing their environmental impact.

The workshop concludes with a showcase of the completed projects, fostering a sense of accomplishment and discussion on how these practices can be integrated into daily routines. This engaging approach not only cultivates practical skills but also strengthens community bonds through shared commitment to environmental stewardship.
