The wooden one-string guitar workshop has been successfully completed on 25/11. Thanks to Norman who teaches everyone how to use recycled wooden bed boards, combined with used tin boxes, such as moon cake tins, cookie boxes, to create an environmentally friendly one-string guitar that you can watch and play. It turns out that besides guitars, there are many other things that can be made from environmentally friendly materials. Participants tried out other eco-friendly gadgets designed by Norman, for example, table tennis rackets made from red wine wooden boxes, pop stick pistol, recycled wooden bows and arrows etc. While everyone was having fun, they also learned how to integrate environmental protection and upcycling into life.
