methodology
In the first phase of the project's, several workshops and technical visits were organised, informing the project participants about topics such as environmental knowledge, composting, urban agriculture, collaborative games and education and communication.
In the second phase, the participants developed their own projects. The First Free Environment Conference of Grota-do-Surucucu was held. In a participatory way, the relevant themes related to the environment of the community were selected and a list of priority actions has been voted. Out of this diagnosis, three Working Groups (WG) were created.
