Colegio Concertado Casvi Boadilla has organised a series of workshops to promote environmental education and care for the environment among its students. During this week, the students of 1st Bachillerato and 1st ESO have become the teachers of their primary school classmates, giving theoretical and practical workshops on composting and vermicomposting to primary school students. The activity aims not only to teach about organic waste management, but also to raise awareness of the importance of sustainability and recycling in everyday life.
THE IMPACT OF COMPOSTING WORKSHOPS ON ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
This activity has been a perfect opportunity for younger students to understand how the environment can benefit from the proper use of organic waste. During the sessions, both secondaryand high school students have explained how microorganisms and earthworms play a fundamental role in the decomposition of organic waste, transforming it into compost, a natural and useful fertiliser to enrich the soil.
In addition, they have shown how composting and vermicomposting work, and have detailed the steps to follow in this process, highlighting the importance of separating waste properly to contribute to a healthier planet.
These types of activities also help to generate greater interest among children in issues such as recycling and sustainability, two key aspects to ensure a greener future. The workshops have not only been a learning exercise, but also a practice that, in the long term, will contribute to improving environmental habits in the school community.
CASVI BOADILLA STUDENTS PROMOTE CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT WITH COMPOSTING
In addition, primary school pupils have been encouraged to actively participate in the separation of organic waste in the canteen, using bins specifically designed for this purpose. With this small gesture, the aim is to promote a culture of recycling and awareness from the earliest educational stages, which contributes to strengthening everyone’s commitment to sustainability.
As part of the action, students have also been encouraged to bring fruit in their lunches, a healthy alternative that reduces the amount of plastic waste generated. This type of practice not only improves the health of the students, but also helps to reduce waste.
The joint effort between secondary and primary school students reinforces the idea that we can all do our bit to improve the environment, making our surroundings a more sustainable and healthy place for everyone. In this way, Casvi Boadilla School demonstrates its commitment to environmental education and the training of students who are aware of the impact of their actions on the planet.
