    Environmental Education Program

    The Sustainable Community Project aims to encourage and train people through Environmental Education, providing guidance on the reuse of materials that would otherwise be disposed and developing new skills.
    In this way, it is possible to increase the possibility of generating income for the communities involved. The project also takes place through lectures, courses and sustainable workshops, according to the local reality, focusing on the re-use of the most generated waste in the region. For example: food, paper/cardboard, plastic, fabric and elements of nature.
