Students at the Juan Bautista de la Salle School in Santo Domingo’s neighborhood of Ensanche Simón Bolivar were the most recent participants in a workshop led by Lucia Marte, coordinator of ReCrearte. At the event, Marte discussed the issue of environmental protection and educated participants on the three R’s. Afterwards, recycled newspapers served as building blocks for the students’ creation of various trinkets and other small pieces of art. The workshop was attended by 45 students aged between 8 and 18 years, and took place between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. as a part of the school’s yearly summer reading workshop.
About ReCrearte:
The ReCrearte program works with the most disadvantaged communities, who receive training in the art of recycling and creating new objects from waste and simultaneously learn to develop an alternative source of income. The program revolves around the “three golden rules” (or 3Rs) for the proper management of solid waste: reduce, reuse, and recycle. The workshops demonstrate and emphasize the idea that recycling waste and transforming it into art and objects for daily use strengthen individuals and communities alike.
