Bag Weaving Workshop at UNPRI, a Combination of Traditional Art and Youth Innovation

UNPRI Arts and Crafts Workshop Trains Students to Create Functional Works of Artistic Value

Tzu Ching UNPRI - UNIVERSITAS PRIMA INDONESIA. Sunday, June 29, 2025. The Tzu Chi Student Youth Association of Universitas Prima Indonesia (Tzu Ching UNPRI) once again demonstrated its commitment to fostering creativity as well as concern for the environment through the Art and Craft activity: Woven Bags from Used Goods that cannot be recycled.

Amid the increasing amount of plastic waste that is difficult to decompose, especially from snack packaging, Tzu Ching UNPRI took the initiative to hold a handicraft activity by utilizing plastic waste that cannot be recycled conventionally. Through this activity, participants are invited to transform snack packaging waste into woven bags that are useful and have aesthetic value.

This step is a real effort to raise awareness of the importance of waste management based on Reuse and Upcycle, so that items that were previously considered waste can get a new life as functional handicraft products.

The activity, which was carried out outside the campus, began with an introduction to material on the negative impacts of plastic waste on the environment and the importance of the role of the younger generation in reducing waste accumulation. After that, the participants received technical training starting from how to sort packaging waste, clean, cut, to assemble the packaging pieces into woven fabrics that are ready to be formed into bags.

With a relaxed and interactive learning atmosphere, participants are free to express their creativity, exchange design ideas, and work together to complete each stage of making the bag. This activity not only focuses on handicraft skills, but also instills the values ​​of togetherness, patience, and social awareness.

Through this Art and Craft activity, Tzu Ching UNPRI hopes to instill positive habits in students to always practice the principles of recycling and waste reduction.

This simple activity proves that with creativity, care, and cooperation, even trash can be transformed into something useful. In the future, Tzu Ching UNPRI is committed to continuing to present sustainable educational programs, as a real contribution to realizing a cleaner earth
