These workshops utilize a hands-on approach to transforming trash or throw-away items into aesthetic and useful objects. Included in these workshops—which take place in schools, community centers, universities, and even in commercial malls—are lectures on the destructive effects that trash of every kind has on the environment and on climate change.
These programs of working and creating handmade objects has a set of goals such as providing materials for practical work, which lead to awakening the students' creativity, restoring their self-esteem, developing their capacity to transmit their experience and new knowledge to others.
“Beauty can be found everywhere. Transformation of objects is like a miracle, a recreation. This activity helps people to restore their self-esteem and it opens a door into the unlimited world of creativity”.
Our workshops have been adapted for primary school children, high school and college students, teachers, parents, and seniors.

Family Workshops
Several generations (child, parents & grand-parents) can gather all together to spark creativity and imagination
Recycling Art Programs for Schools
The Recycled Art program teaches students how to create artistic objects from materials as diverse as stones, wooden sticks, and scraps of fabric. Creating "something from ‘nothing’" art that some people would consider trash, is not only a worthwhile undertaking but one that brings personal pleasure and understanding.
Workshops for Women
Workshops designed to help empower women through developing their creative skills. In these workshops, women learn how to create jewelry, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, sculptures, children’s toys, and art objects out of different materials such as hangers, plastic baskets, paper, cardboard, old wood objects, and rope—in short, anything that can be reused.
Professional Development Workshops
Recycling always begins at home. A teacher needs ways to re-invigorate her enthusiasm and spirit on a daily basis, both in and out of the classroom, to maintain the enthusiasm, energy and capacity for engagement with both the work and the students that the profession demands, and which are inherently satisfying. In recycling art, we also recycle our own energies and make them more available. The program consists of workshop-format activities in which recycled materials simultaneously become educational tools and art
