Course Reuse of Items specifically describes the possibilities of reusing items, taking into account the global system of increasing waste and efforts to avoid creating additional waste. Detailed theoretical materials are prepared for use in an online theoretical course.
The course will contribute to improving education and making it easier for the target group to find employment in a region with agricultural production, as well as various small artisanal businesses. Additionally, it provides opportunities for employment in potential social enterprises that could be established in the partner regions. A separate category of the course’s outcome is the use of its content for work therapy, therapy to improve the motor skills of people with disabilities, as well as for general therapy aimed at relaxation for people affected by stress.
