During the workshop students and teachers made textile bags with recyclable textile ornaments. For this activity the Romanian school established a partnership with the municipality of Malu and the primary school of Malu. The municipality of Malu provided the space for the workshop. After the workshop parade was organized and students presented their bags to the community from Malu. The next day students from all participant schools, helped by their teachers, worked on the props for the plays. For this workshop, each partner had sent the hosting institution a list with necessary materials and the students and teachers from Romanian school gathered recyclable paper, cardboards, wood and plastic, and also provided glue, paint and scissors. There were also workshops for rehearsing the plays and on the 4th meeting day, students performed on the stage of the Cultural Centre in Giurgiu. For this show students presented the plays they had written: Finland: “What Would You Do Differently?”; Greece: “ERYSICHTHON lives on?”; Italy: “Good Manners Are Also Recycling”; Malta: “Ecolino”. On the 3rd day, the hosting institution organized a workshop for creating toys from recycled textile at the Museum of the Romanian Peasant in Bucharest.
