RAMALLAH, West Bank — Students from nine Palestinian schools in East Jerusalem are preparing for the final phase of an EU-sponsored initiative in which they will compete with their art projects made out of recycled garbage.
As part of “My Green Jerusalem,” about 300 students aged between 10 and 13 participated in educational and cultural workshops on the environment and the importance of preserving it, and also learned how to recycle some waste into art projects for a competition between the participating schools later this month.
