This year has been quite different for all of us. As the pandemic has unfolded, we all have had to look for new ways of sharing, learning, working and relaxing. Our environmental education program has not been the exception, since SINAL has had to close its doors and greatly reduce the flow of people visiting.
We turned to the online world to stay active! earlier this year, we embarked on a pilot project with teachers from the American School of Rio de Janeiro to create a platform sharing videos, live chats and DIY activities centered around sustainability and the farm life at SINAL. Luckily, these were so popular that we are happy to announce we are taking it to the next level!
SINAL will begin producing informative capsules about agroecology, bioconstruction, reforestation, recycled art and other topics taking advantage of the many prototypes running in campus, as well as the diversity of people we have around! with stories from all our coordinators coming from different parts of Brazil and the world, we are excited to show how we knit a tight community that sources well-being and innovation through diversity and a harmonic relationship with nature. These will be part of the curriculum of local schools!
A big thank you to our donors for helping us keep our education program going, especially during these hard times. Stay tuned to see our progress, we will begin shooting in the coming months!
