SAVE THE OCEAN
UPCYCLING WORKCAMP & ADVENTURE
From 07 to 18 JUNE 2023
In this work camp, which is part of a larger international project and is carried out in cooperation with the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources in Songkhla, volunteers will participate in workshops on upcycling and be trained by a team of international experts. They will then be able to make products from waste materials creatively and through the art of upcycling, acquire techniques and methodologies and learn specific skills in this area.
Moreover, participants will also carry out other activities to protect and conserve marine and coastal ecosystems.
Songkhla is located 720 km south of Bangkok. It faces the Gulf of Thailand, its harbor is the largest among those on the east coast of the Isthmus of Kra, and fishing is one of the leading sectors of the municipal economy. To the northwest of the city lies Songkhla Lake (Thai: Thale Sap), a kind of lagoon separated from the sea by a long strip of land.
