The event is part of Miral’s commitment to the education and environment pillars of its Group CSR strategy. Featuring engaging arts and crafts workshop sessions, Miral Recycles combines both creative and sustainable activities that aim to foster a sense of responsibility to protect the environment amongst children and the youth.
