Creative instead of throwing away - upcycling in the neighbourhood

What should be created?
With the creative workshop, we want to organize open workshops and creative events in the neighborhood where new things are created from used materials. Many materials such as cardboard, fabric scraps, packaging or old objects are often thrown away, although there is still a lot to be done with them. In our workshops, we show how these materials can be creatively reused (upcycling). Together they create small works of art, practical objects or decorations. The project is open to children, young people and adults from the neighbourhood and invites people to be creative together. Contribution to climate protection: The project contributes to climate protection by showing how materials can be used longer instead of thrown away. Participants will learn: - Reduce waste - Reuse materials - consume more sustainably. This creates an awareness of resources and the environment in everyday life. Benefits for the neighbourhood: The workshops create an open meeting place for encounters and exchange in the neighbourhood. People of different generations can work together creatively and learn from each other. A possible highlight of the project is a joint work of art made of recycled material, which will be designed together with residents of the neighbourhood and exhibited in the neighbourhood. Implementation: The workshops take place in the creative workshop and are organized and carried out by the idea giver. Several events are planned at which people from the neighbourhood can bring materials or use existing recycling materials. The project combines creativity, community and climate protection and shows how small ideas can make a difference in everyday life.
