What do children learn:
how to use in a different way natural materials and waste materials (such as food, plastic and paper) instead of throwing them away and how to remake new goods from trash without harming our health. They will learn how to be more creative in thinking of recycling and upcycling projects, and how animals recycle natural items.

The walk will be a recycling scavenger hunt, with a collection of what can be recycled in a park or forest. The workshop will be provided with containers and magnifying glasses.
