RePlay Climate Action Week Event
October 17 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
This event will give children, families and members of the community an opportunity to see how unwanted toys have been transformed into a new piece of community art — and children who donated toys can come along to see how their contributions have become part of something much bigger.
The project has a simple message:
Old toys. A new work of art.
By involving local children directly in the creation of the sculpture, Carrickmacross Tidy Town hopes RePlay will encourage conversations about reuse, recycling, creativity and the value of giving unwanted items a second life.
Everyone in the community is encouraged to get involved — whether by donating a toy, spreading the word or coming along on 17 October to see the finished creation.
The completed work will be unveiled at the RePlay community event at The Workhouse, Carrickmacross (A81 E372), at 3pm on Saturday, 17 October.
