The international initiative Ecoescuelas, which promotes environmental education and sustainability in schools, brought together representatives from the educational community, students, teachers, families, and municipal officials at this event. The gathering served to honor the work carried out during the academic year in key areas such as resource saving, waste management, biodiversity, and environmental participation.
During the ceremony, accreditation diplomas and Green Flags were awarded to centers that met the program's objectives, a distinction for the collective effort towards environmental protection and sustainable development. Furthermore, experiences and best practices were shared among the participating schools, strengthening the network of institutions committed to sustainability.
This year, the Infanta Catalina Public School received its first Green Flag. The CEIP Cardenal Cisneros, CEIPSO Ernest Hemingway, CEIP Doctora de Alcalá, and IES Alkal’a Nahar renewed their recognition. The CEIP Miguel Hernández, CEIP Cervantes, and CEIP Dulcinea also joined, adding to the existing CEIP Ciudad del Aire, CEIP La Garena, CEIP Luis Vives, CEIP Manuel Azaña, CEIP Mozart, CC Gredos San Diego, and IES Francisca de Pedraza.
