Spain Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai: Learning through play is one of the easiest ways to get a child to retain a lesson, and this week the kids are getting a master class on recycling. The Spanish Pavilion is organising workshops to educate young people on waste production’s global ramifications and give them solutions on how to reuse things. Participants will use garbage to create puppets all the while not only learning a new skill but also the importance of limiting their waste. Every day, four workshops tackle different materials: paper, plastic, organic and reject materials.
