NISYRIO launches PLAY – a program which refers to the recollection of plastic waste from all Nisyrian countryside with the participation and help of the residents. Eventually, the gathered plastic waste will be processed in recycling and reusing machines, in laboratories and/or playful games (for younger children), resulting in the production of a children’s playground and design furniture to be placed, wherever needed, in public areas. It is a program aiming directly to children of 6 up to 18 years old, thus, having an indirect impact on their families and local society in general.

The PLAY program will initiate in June with the aim to be completed by the end of 2021 with four weeks of laboratories facilitated by Konsantinos Skopas.

With the financial support of the Ministry of Culture. Air Carrier Sponsor AEGEAN. Partner Blue Cycle.
