Participants: María Quirico and the students of Babeque Secondary School
This project came about as a result of the interest generated by students who attended the launch of the School Gardens Program. The School Gardens initiative seeks to complement secondary and preparatory academic plans in the following way:
- 1) Strengthen the study of Natural Sciences by including experimental activities;
- 2) Show students how to recycle organic material that can be used for organic composting and fertilizer;
- 3) Raise awareness about the importance of a well-balanced diet;
- 4) Create a practical manual on creating school gardens;
- 5) Provide a space for recreation, relaxation and physical activity.
