The EcoWeave Ball is a project initiated by students at the Beijing Institute of Technology, aimed at empowering African children to make their own footballs using recycled materials like discarded tires. This initiative addresses both social challenges—lack of access to sports equipment—and environmental issues, notably tire pollution. Each kit is designed with clear instructions and includes the materials needed for the kids to weave their own footballs, thereby fostering creativity and traditional craftsmanship. The project also incorporates elements from Cuju, an ancient Chinese ball game, linking the activity to historical forms of play, thereby enriching children's recreational experiences.
The EcoWeave Ball project empowers African children to create footballs from recycled materials, tackling both environmental waste and access to recreational activities.
With instructions printed directly onto the kit, children are guided through the process of constructing footballs from discarded tires, combining creativity and sustainability.
Incorporating Cuju, an ancient Chinese ball game, the EcoWeave Ball serves to teach children about traditional craftsmanship while connecting them to a historic legacy of play.
The EcoWeave Ball project is a creative solution addressing not only the lack of access to sports equipment but also a critical environmental issue of tire pollution.
