Creative without borders: Upcycling workshops for young people in Regensburg!
In Regensburg, the school canteens at Gabelsbergerstrasse and Emil-Kemmer-Schule have taken a significant step towards sustainability: they have been awarded organic certification. This not only improves the quality of food for the students, but also increases awareness of healthy eating. So reported regensburg.de that the school canteens now use a selection of organic ingredients, which meets the high demands placed on the food.
Another exciting project that promotes the creativity of young people are the upcycling workshops, which are becoming more and more important. Loud klytera.com These workshops offer young people the opportunity to create new, valuable products from old materials. Here we don't just recycle, we work creatively to make shopping bags out of old T-shirts or furniture out of wooden pallets out of supposed garbage. Yes, a real benefit for the environment and your own creativity!
Combining creativity and sustainability
The demand for creative workshops is high. Around 65% of young people want to get actively involved in climate protection, and that is exactly the right way! Upcycling not only promotes creativity, but also awareness of a sustainable lifestyle. Statistics show that after taking part in workshops, 58% of young people change their behavior in everyday life in a more positive way. Who would have thought that a creative process would have so many positive effects?
A special highlight is the workshop “Trashformers – when trash becomes art!”, which will take place in Dresden from October 6th to 10th, 2025. Here participants aged 10 to 18 have the opportunity to create works of art from old materials. Under the direction of an artistic professional, the young people can experiment with techniques such as sculpture and collage and learn how important sustainability is. The workshop takes place in an open and creative setting, as shown on geh8.de described.
An open offer for everyone
In Regensburg, a studio opens its doors every Sunday to young creative people between the ages of 14 and 26. The offer includes a variety of materials and techniques, including acrylic and oil paints, various papers as well as tools and equipment for participants.

Participation is possible without prior registration and a voluntary contribution of 5 to 7 euros is recommended, as stated regensburg.de is to be read.
With all of these initiatives and projects, Regensburg and Dresden show how creativity, a sense of community and sustainability can go hand in hand. Young people have the chance not only to bring their ideas to life, but also to actively contribute to environmental protection - a good way for a better future!
