More than 21,000 students of Primary Education have participated during this school year in the awareness campaign 'Murcia sustainable city, put to Murcia Guapa' that annually develops the Department of Development together with Ferrovial Services.
Last October, this campaign started with the aim of promoting among schoolchildren the guidelines for a correct urban hygiene as well as promoting the practice of the three erres of our waste, ie Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
This year, two important innovations have been carried out: on the one hand, the performance of Drilo the crocodile with the didactic musical "Drilo teaches to Recycle";
And on the other hand, the presence of the Civic Brigades in schools accompanying the monitors in the talks given to the students of 4th and 5th grade Primary Education in the schools of the municipality of Murcia.
Although this training and didactic information began in 1994, it has been growing and evolving since the Council of Fomento and Ferrovial Services "continues to be committed to this type of activities aimed at youth as a priority group, The population sector of the future and which should continue to allocate much of the awareness, "said Councilor Roque Ortiz.
For this reason it was included that in these campaigns the youngest of 5 to 8 years with the implementation since last October of the musical work of the character of Drilo, 'Drilo teaches to Recycle' with which it is intended, according to Ortiz, "Also reach this students with the conviction that the sooner they are taught to be civic and responsible citizens, before they learn it."
Thus, they have been able to learn through the performing arts, music and theater combined with fun and didactic so that in a dynamic and playful way the importance of caring for the streets, the schoolyard, the neighborhood, the park, etc. is transmitted.
