Did you know that certain plants can help purify the air inside your home, classroom, or workplace? Join us for a hands-on workshop where we will demonstrate how to pot and care for plants that improve indoor air quality — and take one home with you!

Plants will be available for purchase at just €1–2, with all proceeds going to the Arodaphnousa Hospice of the Cyprus Anti-Cancer Society.

This workshop is open to the entire UNIC community and the general public, and takes place as part of the Breath IN Project and the University of Nicosia Environmental Health Research Centre (EHRC).
