QUESTIONS TO DISCUSS

Making Things

• What would you miss the most in your house if suddenly everything disappeared?
• Look around your house. What can you make by yourself instead of buying?
• What’s one thing you would make from old clothes, jars, or broken furniture if you didn’t have enough money to buy new items? How could it help your family?
• Do you think it's fun to make things with your own hands? What’s something you would like to create from things you already have at home?
• What’s the best part of turning something old or discarded into something useful? Is it the creativity, the savings, or something else?

 Giving Items a Second Life

• What’s one item in your home that you don’t use anymore? How could you reuse or repurpose it into something useful?
• Have you ever repaired or restored something instead of throwing it away? What was it, and how did it feel to give it a second life?
• What happens to old clothes in your house? Do you throw them away or try to reuse them?
• Have you ever exchanged old clothes for something like kitchen utensils, like the traditional barter system? What do you think about that idea?
• What’s the most creative way you’ve seen someone reuse or upcycle an object? Could you try something similar?
• Do you think sharing items could work in your community? Why or why not?
• Which material do you think is the best for everyday items: paper, plastic, or glass? Why?
• Do you think owning fewer items could make it easier to reuse and repurpose what you already have? Why or why not?
• Do you think conservation and restoration are better for the environment than buying new things? Can you give an example?
• Do you know any DIY skills, like sewing, painting, or woodworking, that could help you transform objects? What skill would you like to learn?
