The project employs a cyclical, experiential, and inclusive methodology that combines environmental education with the therapeutic use of art:

Collection & Sorting: Students learn to identify, collect, and properly sort recyclable materials with the goal of safely reusing them within the circular economy.

Design & Construction: Recyclable materials are transformed into dolls and puppets through guided creative activities. This stage enhances students’ fine motor skills, organization, concentration, and executive function.

Therapeutic Activation: Based on ErgoSEN protocols, dolls and puppets are used in guided sessions as mediating tools for communication and expression. Through the doll or puppet, the child can indirectly express thoughts, feelings, and needs, reducing anxiety and social pressure, while supporting the safe emergence and processing of psycho-emotional experiences.

Performance & Inclusion: Students participate in collaborative storytelling sessions and short performances, where students with and without special educational needs interact creatively through puppets and marionettes. This process fosters cooperation, acceptance of diversity, and social inclusion.
