Education

The most important part of actions taken to be more sustainable is the education of the youth. Without it there would be no speaking of retention of knowledge. The educational projects allow new generations to tackle future problems and go on educating their next generations.

ECOCASA

This January, the Maracena Town Hall inaugurated Andalusia’s first eco-classroom. This is a permanent public center dedicated to environmental education, adhering strictly to a non-formal educational methodology.

The eco-classroom is divided into two sections. The first section addresses the environmental consequences of climate change, while the second section explores potential solutions.

Our environmental education center welcomes daily visits from educational institutions across the province of Granada. Through a series of workshops, we shed light on the structure of the European Green Deal, examine the scientific factors contributing to global warming, and conclude with two interactive sessions:

• A 3D glasses simulation depicting a devastated planet and a “Clean” planet, offering a comparative
  before-and-after perspective.
• A workshop on local food and consumption, where young participants learn to prepare recipes using local products.
