More than forty sophisticated professional woodcarvers kept their spirits high during this post-WWD event when sharing their skills and enthusiasm with the students. They were able to adapt themselves to the new conditions with some measures that helped overcoming the students’ barriers.
Despite the limitations, the pleasure and enjoyment can be clearly seen on both the students and artists’ faces as they communicated with signs and gestures during the sessions. The workshop was very close knit that created a cheerful atmosphere where everyone enjoyed themselves.
World Wood Day is a cultural event celebrated annually during the week of March 21st to highlight wood as an eco-friendly and renewable biomaterial and to raise awareness on the key role wood plays in a sustainable world. Starting from 2013, WWD celebrations were held in Tanzania and China respectively, involving participants from over 100 countries and regions.
