This year, UWC Maastricht makes their primary families and secondary students and all staff members think about how they can change together. What a better way than engaging the whole community in a recycling textile collaborative project that aims to promote sustainability while providing the space to engage in storytelling and cooperation with others. Partner service organisations are also invited to create with UWC Maastricht a growing Forest of Hope throughout the year and starting on this day. They hope to involve other schools throughout the year.

They are inspired by the Artivism of a Latin American collective which initiated this project in 2020: https://zurciendoelplaneta.org/embroidery-guide/
