Launched in Cascais in the 2012/13 school year, with the aim of collaborating with educational establishments in the formation of more environmentally aware and participative citizens, this programme has become a complementary tool to the work of teachers, supporting their classes, both inside and outside the school grounds, thus encouraging the development of various themes within the scope of Education for the Environment and Citizenship.

This project for Cascais schools, created in the 2020/2021 school year, aims to promote greater interactivity between schools and the community. Each edition publicises initiatives carried out by students in the municipality, aimed at adopting more sustainable attitudes.
It complements the PESA by providing teachers/educators with tools. The educational exploration sheets are accompanied by activity proposals, trivia and, whenever possible, local examples so that students can understand the consequences their behaviour can have on the environment and quality of life.
