Project line: Sustainability education
Project location: El Salvador, Morazán Department
Project duration: 2019 – indefinite
Funding: Ulmus Foundation, Geoformer IGP AG, donations
Summary: In the hands-on workshops, participants focus on topics such as environmental protection, nature conservation, waste disposal, and reforestation. In their own tree nursery, seedlings are produced, trees are cared for and grown for the reforestation of nearby forests.
Solving environmental problems requires an informed and active civil society that brings about change at the individual and societal levels.
With Sembramos, we want to empower the residents of Morazán to work together and contribute their own ideas to a healthy environment and the ecologically sustainable development of their community. The participants should thus become agents of the change they want to see in their society.
In the theoretical component of the SEMBRAMOS projects, young people and local organizations take part in workshops that provide knowledge on environmental protection, waste management and recycling, tree and vegetable cultivation, plant care, and reforestation.
In the practical component, participants are equipped with tools and hands-on skills that allow them to directly apply what they have learned in theory. In addition, they are encouraged to independently develop and implement innovative projects.
In the area of environment and climate, the acquisition of a plot of land in northern Morazán has laid the foundation for the continued operation of the already established tree nursery. Many additional seedlings are being cultivated there, creating the basis for a long-term reforestation project that will span many years.
With the additional tree nursery, a space is being created to host training sessions and events for the three programs of Fundación Consciente.
Objectives: To promote knowledge and discussion on environmental issues and climate change; to raise awareness of the loss of natural habitats and biodiversity; to identify and implement measures that contribute to more sustainable ecological development.
Objectives: Implementation of a multi-year reforestation project, including the cultivation of seedlings and care of young trees. Development of a sense of responsibility for nature and the climate.
Knowledge transfer on the cultivation of native fruit and vegetable varieties, thereby promoting independence.
