Attendees engage in various crafting activities, such as creating signs or banners, costume-making, hats, jewelry, creating artwork, or constructing unique decorative items from repurposed materials. This activity fosters a sense of resourcefulness and encourages participants to think outside the box when it comes to reusing and repurposing everyday items.


Participating in the crafting and recycling station provides a hands-on experience for attendees to explore the world of recycling and upcycling. It offers not only an educational platform to learn about sustainable practices but also a chance to interact with like-minded individuals and contribute to a greener future.
