Resiestrela, EGF's concessionaire in Cova da Beira, brings the project “A Nossa Casa é um Planeta” to schools. The awareness actions that make up the project are integrated into the ECOVALOR Program, as part of a joint application by the 11 concessionaires belonging to EGF to POSEUR (Operational Program for Sustainability and Efficiency in the Use of Resources).

This environmental education action includes the production of 3 films specially designed with content suitable for 3 different target audiences: Kindergarten; 1st, 2nd and 3rd Cycle; Secondary / Adult.

With an innovative approach, and designed on itinerant planetariums, the awareness actions include, in addition to film presentations, games on environmental themes and delivery of pedagogical materials that allow for the consolidation of the knowledge obtained.
