Hole-riddled socks, empty cartons and other packaging can take on a new life as something fresh and unexpected. The vast variety and originality of waste materials serves as inspiration and impulse for action. The upcycling workshops teach participants about abstract thinking, stimulate their imaginations and help them develop their manual skills while bringing benefits to the environment. Participants will discover how to reduce the amount of waste and how to reuse as much of it as possible.
