The Student Council’s initiative to host the ECOBAPPA workshop was well-received by all attendees. The event not only provided a platform for creative expression but also served as a reminder of our collective responsibility towards preserving the environment. Such workshops are essential in promoting eco-consciousness among the younger generation, ensuring that traditional practices can coexist harmoniously with environmental stewardship.
