Environmental education

We develop cross-cutting projects that involve communication, technology, agroecology, English, art, and vocational aspects in two rural schools in the township of Minca. We work to promote soft skills, increase the academic level, as well as risk prevention in children, young people and adolescents.

COMMUNICATION

Within educational institutions, we strive to develop communication skills, students have created a "communication group" in which they have developed workshops: Podcasts, video blogs and magazines. 

Students of all high school grades from their regional knowledge, created different communicative proposals to ensure that their regional memory and the beauty of their territory does not go unnoticed.

TECHNOLOGY AND STEAM

Training our students in STEAM skills is important for educational institutions to take an integrative approach that fosters students' interest in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics as they develop a variety of important skills.

Execution of STEAM projects designed based on local needs and the interests of the beneficiaries. Throughout the year, workshops will be held in which at least two projects will be developed, such as: programming with Micro:bit, informative notices in the garden and the virtual magazine. 

AGROECOLOGY
