Project Microsites
COMMUNICATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

As part of the alliance's work, the local communication group Amosiqui was created, consisting of students, teachers, and community members who have strengthened their skills and abilities through workshops in muralism, photography, writing, graphic design, illustration, radio, among other disciplines.

From these learning spaces, an itinerant exhibition was organized featuring illustrations created by Amosiqui, which has traveled locally and nationally. Each year, a version of the newspaper “Lo que cuenta la cuenca” is edited. Additionally, annual calendars, wall murals, and the publication of program notes in the 'Notas Silvestres' bulletin by WCS are produced.

Furthermore, through the Verde Vivo Program of the Fundación Grupo Argos, good environmental practices have been implemented in 8 schools, including the creation of school gardens, and 24 teachers have been trained.
