Creative Thinking for Sustainability

Project: Circ@Home
Physical Meeting

Description

The workshop will explore how creative thinking can support more sustainable everyday consumption. Participants will look at common household decisions – whether to buy, repair, redesign, reuse or share – and learn about local circular services and opportunities available at DARE Makerspace. The practical part of the workshop will focus on material reuse, with participants creating decorative lampshades from recycled egg cartons. The activity combines circular economy knowledge with hands-on experimentation and encourages households to see existing materials as resources for new uses.
