The councilor promotes with these workshops to encourage ecological practices in the citizenship.

The workshops, which will be held in different associations, NGOs and senior citizen groups in the municipality of Arrecife, will begin this coming Friday, April 4 and will run until April 30. The schedule of the workshops will be from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
