In a recent hands-on workshop, children participated in the Climate Justice Revival through a unique TrashLab Art Project. The project blended creativity with environmental stewardship, encouraging participants to reflect on our role in caring for the Earth.
The workshop began with an outdoor exploration around the East Shore campus, where kids collected natural items and litter, learning about the importance of protecting the planet and its beauty. They safely sought out a variety of colors, textures, and shapes. Back in the classroom, the children transformed their findings into a collaborative canvas to represent both the natural environment and human impact. By turning trash into art, they discovered how small actions can lead to positive change, fostering a sense of responsibility and deeper connection to the Earth.
The canvas is now hanging in the upstairs of the Education building. Come check it out and take a look.
