Teams get creative as they design, build and decorate a bookshelf that becomes an important educational resource.

This creative and enjoyable team CSR activity produces much needed and lasting benefits for children who don’t have easy access to a commodity that many of us took for granted when we were growing up.

Working in teams, each participant is responsible for specific tasks, playing their part in producing beautiful, brightly colored and creatively designed bookcases.

Each team starts with a theme and with the components of their bookcase. Team members must collaborate in order to come up with the best strategy to design, build and create a one-of-a-kind bookcase.

Half the team is responsible for producing the elaborate themed mural that forms the backdrop of the bookshelf whilst the other half turn the shelves into a work of art by attending a decoupage workshop and then applying the techniques.

Results: BookWorx creates awareness when it comes to the lack of resources in education, in underprivileged communities and their institutions. It is a wonderful activity where teamwork, strategic thinking and creativity are the main ingredients to succeed, along with empathy and kindness. (CSR activity)

Groups can also collect books to ensure that the bookshelves are full at the time of donation and can continue to keep them updated over time, creating lasting results & connections.
