The Cabrera Medina Business Group (CICAR) and the Mercedes Medina Díaz Association (AMMD), on the occasion of the celebration of Canary Islands Day, announce the X Edition of the Children's and Primary School Drawing Contest Paint and Take Care of Your Island. Under the slogan MOBILITY IN THE CANARY ISLANDS. How would you get around?.
The aim of this contest is to invite all Infant and Primary school students to imagine and capture in their drawings a world where mobility and transport are key drivers for sustainable development, in line with the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals.
We want to see how they transform the way we move, making transport a sustainable, connected, safe, inclusive and accessible tool. The idea is to represent a future in which concepts such as micro-mobility (small, ecological and efficient vehicles) are combined with collective transport, which promotes cooperation and reduces environmental impact. Thus, each action becomes a window to a world where each journey contributes to shaping communities committed to climate action and innovation.
By participating, your drawings will not only show creativity, but also a commitment to transforming our environment, for a fairer and more sustainable future for all.
