STUDENTS, CREATE A TREE
- The tree that you create will be displayed in the school hall, your classroom, school library or maybe outside your school.
- It must remind the passers-by of the enormous importance of trees for the Earth and humanity. It may function as a display or it may create a pleasant atmosphere where everybody will want to sit and socialize…
- Create a tree with a message. Think of all the diverse functions of a tree. There is no right way for how you see it – it could be as an object of beauty or a collection of chemicals … What matters is that you become the voice of trees and make people think.
MATERIALS
- Construct your tree from old and used materials. Use materials you have in abundance. This can be practically anything you find in the waste: pieces of wood, metal, wheels, old newspapers, old books, umbrellas, plastic bags, bottles, CDs …
- There is no limitation on types of materials.
- Any materials needed for the tree’s construction – such as glue, string, nails, screws, or other similar materials – are allowed.
- The tree must have a 3D construction and be at least 2 meters tall. If the construction allows, it can stand on its own, if not, it can lean against the wall.
- The most important thing is your imagination! Think out of the box. Surprise us!
IMPORTANT
- We must all learn how to reuse materials and find the joy of creating again. Never forget that we have everything we need to create anything we want.
- Learn to find the beauty within the material itself. Do not transform the material into something that it is not. Plastic is plastic and not marble.
- Find the beauty in the imperfection of the used and broken things. When we learn how to love the imperfection of things, we will learn to love our own so-called imperfections.
- The possibility of using anything does not mean you have to use everything! Choose tastefully.

TEACHERS, TAKE PHOTOS AND CREATE “TREE STORIES”
Every tree has a story. Find it and share it with us.
We want to see stories of trees from all over the world. Let your tree speak through the photo.
Is the tree in your neighborhood the tallest, the smallest, the funkiest, the oldest tree ever …
Is it full of animals, birds, insects?
Is it hurt, burnt? Is it dying?
Or is it simply beautiful, blooming or changing colors?
Maybe it is trying to survive or something strange happened nearby?
