After two years of activities and transnational collaborations, the "The 5R’s Handicrafts: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rethink and Recreate" (KA210-ADU-E4D249FE) project comes to an end, celebrating a legacy of environmental education and sustainable innovation. Coordinated by Germencik Halk Eğitim Merkezi, in Turkey, the project involved prominent partners: PREVIFORM (Portugal), Future Focus (Malta), and CEPA Son Canals (Spain). This joint effort promoted the principles of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rethink, and Recreate, with the aim of transforming waste into handicrafts and encouraging ecological practices in educational contexts.

Throughout the project, numerous activities were carried out, including workshops on waste-to-craft conversion, seminars on carbon footprint reduction, reforestation actions, ecological walks, and cultural events. These initiatives positively impacted local communities and strengthened the exchange of best practices among participating countries.

Among the key results achieved is the e-booklet "The 5R’s Handicrafts," a collaborative work gathering information on sustainability and innovative recycling practices, as well as exhibitions, workshops, and actions that brought citizens and institutions closer to a stronger environmental awareness.

With a significant impact on environmental awareness, green skills development, and the promotion of sustainable habits, the project leaves an important mark in the fight against climate change, standing out as a successful example of European cooperation.
