▶Objectives
Increase the environmental awareness of all members of the educational community, with a special focus on students, bringing them closer to other realities and ways of doing things, sharing experiences, and improving their level of English and intercultural communication skills.
▶Activities
- Plant the seed - 2d animation - More sustainable water and energy consumption activity - Waste management and recycling - Digital animation classes - Gardening sessions at schools
▶Impact
The exchange of information on activities related to environmental issues has been highly satisfactory, as well as the practices carried out by the students. Those who have traveled had the opportunity to see firsthand the physical aspects of the program, such as soil, plants, waste collection organization, etc. This experience has greatly enriched both the students who participated in the program and the teachers, and, indirectly, the participating schools. Various initiatives have been implemented, leading to changes in different aspects such as reflection, waste collection and management, gardening, and landscaping within the school, with broader implications for environmental services, carbon sequestration, climate change resilience, etc. These experiences have been shared with the entire educational community, but especially with students who have voluntarily participated in environmental tasks or committees. Additionally, the program has allowed us to create a positive impact on our surroundings by seeking information and building partnerships within our local area. Organizational structures and lines of work have been established that will continue to bear fruit even after the program has ended.
