Creativity+-+UNICEF+Recycled+Material+Stand

We went to the Fair of High Schools, where UNICEF had its stand. As is known, UNICEF is an organization that tries to get rid of all sorts of bad things in the world; and this time they focused on recycling. The stand consisted of many chairs, which were divided into groups that were destinated to different visitor groups. Our group, which was a combination of some 9th, 10th, and 11th Grade students, got the following task: we were given some old clothes, and we were supposed to decorate the chairs with it using our imagination to the full. We were divided in groups as the task took a lot of time and there were not enough chairs. I was in a group with 3 other people. The chair that we did came out to be really originall and sort of cubistic in style. The purpose of this activity was to make students understand that the materials that can be thrown away can also be re-used for various purposes, and encourage recycling. It lasted 2 hours.
