Project title: Recycle for a green future

Team: Green Fogueteiro

2018-2019   Agrupamento de Escolas Paulo da Gama – EB1/JI do Fogueteiro   Fogueteiro/Seixal/Setúbal   Portugal   21 Student’s age: 8-9

This project was based on encouraging students to do the recycling in their school and family. They could thus become aware of the importance of good ecological practices for the preservation of the environment, the oceans and the non-release of gaseous pollutants into the atmosphere

This project was a lot of fun to accomplish and helpful to all students. They will be able to carry out recycling in the classroom, encourage schoolmates to do recycling and take the ecological message to their family. Remember that this school is located in a troubled neighborhood next to Lisbon where the residents do not have ecological habits.

It would be necessary to continue this project with more actions with the students in the school, sessions of clarification in the community and to involve more the entities of the local authority. It would also be necessary to make field trips to the Tejo River (next to the school / Lisbon) and to the oceanic beach.
