Aligned with Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment), the workshop engaged Eco-Club students in practical activities promoting creativity, waste reduction and sustainable living.

Students learned innovative ways to upcycle old clothes, giving discarded garments a new life while promoting circular economy practices. They also explored the preparation of natural herbal colours using easily available ingredients such as turmeric, hibiscus, rose petals, henna, mint leaves, butterfly pea flowers and tesu (flame of the forest) flowers.

The training encouraged students to discover how simple, nature-based alternatives can replace synthetic products and reduce environmental impact. Such hands-on learning empowers young minds to adopt sustainable practices and inspire their families and communities.
