💼 What the programme involves
SpiderIs Home is an environmental project that is based on increasing awareness of environmental protection by creating mosaics from broken ceramics on the walls of the town using environmental themes such as global warming, water waste and recycling. Creating mosaics to decorate and add color is an art technique that consists of joining pieces of a material to create an image. They can be made from pieces of glass, tile, tiles, ceramics, marble, slate, tiles, tiles, pebbles. The material on which you can make the mosaic can be cement, wood, metal, glass, etc. First, according to the material on which you make the mosaic, draw the design you want to create, extend the adhesive and place the pieces to finally cover the spaces with the grout. The aim of the project is to work on the environmental problems and increase awareness of the participants and also the locals of the town with the help of a creative tool. Participants will use this decoration technique to give some messages to that small town.The activities will be based on the non-formal and informal educational working methods: workshops, courses, excursions, team activities, energizers, discussions, presentations and interviews of participants in the project.
🏠 Accommodation on site
