SUMMARY:Trash Transformed: A Binational Perspective on Art and Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:The “Trash to Art” initiative\, a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) project between Salem State University in the United States and Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico\, exemplifies the transformative power of global shared learning.
