From Waste to Wonder: Our Year 1 Learning Trip to Paper Craft Africa

At Kabojja International School, we believe learning is most powerful when it moves beyond the classroom walls. This week, our Year 1 art learners visited Paper Craft Africa, where everyday waste is transformed into beautiful, useful creations.

For our young artists, it was a chance to see how paper and other discarded materials can be given a second life as notebooks, gift bags, photo frames, bookmarks and more. They watched skilled makers at work, asked thoughtful questions, and began to understand that art can be both imaginative and responsible.

Experiences like this bring our Art & Design curriculum to life. They help learners connect what they create in class with real people, real materials and real enterprise, while planting early seeds of environmental stewardship and respect for handmade work.

We sincerely thank the team at Paper Craft Africa for their warm welcome and for generously sharing their craft with our learners. Our appreciation also goes to the teachers and support staff who made the trip safe, joyful and memorable.

We look forward to seeing how this experience inspires our learners’ own creations back in the studio.
