These activities, organized by the new business park, in collaboration with various environmental organizations, local government and the support of local organizations, benefited 375 elementary school students.
During the sessions, the children participated in educational activities that included interactive games, exhibitions and the presentation of educational videos. The training allowed the students to learn in a playful and practical way about the importance of caring for natural resources and how to live respectfully with the wildlife of the region.
“These gatherings with our community represent an investment in the future of our children.

The project was developed through collaboration between various local organizations and entities, including FUNDEMA, Primates de Grecia and ECOGRECIA, as well as the Municipality of Grecia, the Forest Reserve of Grecia and the Ministry of Health.
