High school students in the Black Sea province of Samsun turn old items into rag dolls and bags within the scope of the Zero Waste Project.

The students make their own belongings by turning old socks, clothes and fabrics into cloth bags with cloth dolls as an alternative to plastic toys and dolls in the visual arts lesson with the support of the school administration.

Nature artist Bahar Değirmenci also provides support to students about handicrafts.

School principal Mustafa Dilek said that they care about all kinds of education in the development and preparation of students for the future.

Stressing that students are able to get everything ready nowadays, Dilek stated that they carried out a project for production in this context.
