Participants of the activities were engaged in series of different craft workshops focusing on their creativity skills and practising mindfulness.
There were 5 different activities organized for youth. Workshops were based on learning the theory and then putting knowledge to practise on how to make various cards for different celebrations/events while using challenging techniques and interesting folding methods.
