Local varieties in school gardens

For a number of years now, we have been offering our organization's partner schools one free activity per year.

Thanks to the funding of the subsidy for environmental education activities in the Balearic Islands in favor of non-profit organizations for the 2025 financial year of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Natural Environment.

In recent weeks we have been able to offer partner centers some activity related to the introduction of local varieties into their school gardens and the introduction of cultivated biodiversity into the centers.

The current partner schools are: CEIP Robines de Binissalem, AFA CEIP Es Molinar, CEIP Nadal Campaner Arrom de Costitx, CEIP Ses Marjades de Sóller, IES Santanyí, Escola Arimunani SL, CIFP Juníper Serra de Palma and IES Santa Maria. This year for the first time we have held the workshops at CEIP Miquel Duran i Saurina and CEIP Guillem Ballester i Cerdó.

The person responsible for holding the workshops was Xisca Acuñas, from the project @then_.

We encourage other educational centers to become members of our organization and help them introduce the aforementioned concepts.
