Millennium Fellowship Project: Waste to Art Workshop+(WaW+)
The project is designed to promote environmental sustainability by combining awareness, creativity, and practical action. It began with an engaging webinar themed “Waste to Art: Promoting Sustainability Through Recycling,” which introduced participants to the importance of climate action, proper waste management, and the creative potential hidden in discarded materials.
The awareness phase set the foundation for the next stage a hands-on Waste-to-Art workshop where participants will learn practical recycling techniques, transform waste into useful or artistic items, and gain real skills they can apply in their daily lives.
By moving from education to practical implementation, the project aims to inspire behavioral change, empower young people with sustainable skills, and contribute to a cleaner, more climate-friendly environment.
