Recycled Material Art Presentation

On December 1st, 2023, The Makazi Foundation, in collaboration with Cocoon Arts, proudly presented a range of recycled products to students and staff at Mount View International Primary School.

About the project

Starting point

The showcase featured a vibrant exhibition of innovative products crafted from recycled materials, all made by participants in the program. From everyday items to creative art pieces, the event demonstrated how waste can be transformed into functional and beautiful products; highlighting recycling not just as a responsibility, but as an opportunity for innovation and expression.

Empowering Youth Through Sustainability Education

Beyond the exhibition, the event served as a powerful educational moment. Students learned about the importance of recycling, the impact of waste on our planet, and the role they can play in environmental stewardship. Through interactive discussions and visual demonstrations, the program instilled in learners a deep appreciation for sustainable living practices.
