VISION - MISSION

The purpose of the project is to develop in children and teenagers a culture of protection and care for the environment they are in, encouraging actions that will improve the context in which they live.

The aims is for them to know how to identify characteristic features of the surrounding living beings and take action to prevent damage, so that the lifespan of the natural resources that human beings use every day will be extended.

While preforming these tasks, children learn to develop their senses, such as sight, hearing and touch and they also develop teamwork skills, as well as increasing their involvement in their communities and effectively have a say and sharing responsibility.

Above all, we pursue they wake up to the role of researchers, in which they will discover by their own means the natural environment that surrounds them and everything that is involved within it.

We are convinced that the importance of environmental education lays in developing core values.

These new attitudes will contribute, through the rational use of natural resources, to the solution of the environmental problems our city is facing. That is why it is important this type of education should be promoted from an early age, along with the values that it entails.
