World Environment Day

Childhood that plants awareness for a greener tomorrow

World Environment Day, celebrated on June 5, is a special opportunity to reflect on our responsibility to care for the planet we inhabit.

This date reminds us of the importance of promoting actions that contribute to the preservation of the environment, and one of the most effective strategies for ensuring a sustainable future is undoubtedly teaching children from an early age to connect with nature and understand the value of protecting it.

Children have a special relationship with the environment. They are naturally curious, admire the beauty of nature, and have an incredible ability to learn and be enchanted by the world around them.

For this reason, Educandário Nossa Senhora do Amparo develops activities that enhance this enchantment and children's curiosity about nature and our planet.

Such as the weekly environmental workshops, where children engage in various activities in contact with nature: - How to plant and harvest vegetables, and learn a little more about flowers.

When we encourage this connection, we are helping to shape adults who are more aware, responsible, and committed to preserving the planet. Environmental education in childhood is essential, as it helps shape the mindset of future generations, promoting more sustainable attitudes, respect for biodiversity, and greater awareness of the impact of our actions on the environment.

By involving children in these actions, we are shaping citizens who are more aware and engaged in building a better world. It is important that adults, teachers, and guardians set examples and encourage sustainable practices, creating a learning environment that values environmental preservation in all its dimensions. And in their own way, children and adolescents learn and leave their mark...

These are very simple actions, but they can bring about big changes. Children have a unique connection with nature, and by teaching them the importance of preserving the environment, we are ensuring a more sustainable tomorrow.

Every gesture counts, and together we can make a difference. Encouraging contact with nature, promoting educational activities, and creating a culture of respect for the environment are essential steps toward ensuring a more sustainable future for everyone.
