    Description

    «BLASTIC, a blast of plastic!»

    BLASTIC aims to be a “wake-up call” to the problem that excessive use of plastic poses to our health and environment. Students need to make clear differences between the world before plastic and now and to understand what are the consequences of its irrational use. With this project pupils will raise awareness to the impact of plastic in our daily lives and use their creativity to reuse it in a musical and artistic way.
