UNI GREEN SCHOOL PROGRAM

UNI Green School Program

UNI Green School Program is a fun and eco-friendly event. “UNI” stands for Uniform and Unique. The goal is to get students involved in sustainability by making products from recycled materials.

During this program, students will use things like old clothes, uniforms, and food waste to join fun DIY workshops. This hands-on experience teaches them the importance of caring for the environment through creativity.

UNI Green raises awareness about environmental issues and gives students a chance to learn uniquely. By creating items themselves, they can express their creativity, develop practical skills, and learn more about sustainable development.
