By students from Radovish, North Macedonia
At a school in Radovish, North Macedonia, a group of creative and environmentally-conscious students decided to make a difference. During their lessons, they learned about pollution and the dangers of plastic waste. Inspired to take action, they came up with a unique idea — to create fashionable dresses using recycled plastic cups.
The classroom turned into a workshop full of colors, ideas, and teamwork. The students collected used plastic cups and carefully cleaned and shaped them. With help from their teachers, they designed and created beautiful, one-of-a-kind dresses. Each dress was a piece of art, showing that even trash could be turned into treasure.
To share their message about recycling and protecting the environment, the students organized a fashion show at school. Proudly wearing their cup-made creations, they walked the runway in front of classmates, teachers, and parents. The audience cheered and clapped, amazed by the students' creativity and commitment to the planet.
The fashion show was more than just a fun event — it was a powerful reminder that everyone can do something to help the Earth. The students of Radovish showed that with imagination and care, even ordinary actions can lead to big changes.
