Offer your students a new perspective on environmental and sustainability issues. Through a lecture with a slide show, we will introduce students to the Reformat project and its approach to sustainable production. During the following workshop, we will guide you through the production of an upcycled notebook and you will see for yourself that not all waste material has to go into the trash.
