The project "Sustainable Lanzarote: bases for a School Agenda 21" which is repeated for the second consecutive year, is inspired by Agenda 21, aimed at the planning and sustainable management of the entire municipal territory. It is a desire for change that aims to involve all citizens in achieving a new model of sustainable development, which allows the conservation of all those values that have made Lanzarote a Biosphere Reserve.
The event was attended by the Director General of Educational Promotion, Rafael González, a representative of the Social Work of Caja Canarias, the president of Aderlan, Valentín Elvira Berriel, the manager of Aderlan, Mercedes Robayna Betancort.
Aderlan is committed to education as an efficient tool for the dissemination of this development model. In its eagerness to gradually create a sustainable island, it continues to work from schools on issues related to the improvement of the environment, culture and sustainability.
The elaboration of the notebook "Lanzarote: towards sustainable development" was one of the main objectives of the environmental education project executed during the 2005-2006 school year "Education for Sustainable Development: Bases for a School Agenda 21". In addition, it is an innovative tool, since it is the first book published on the island aimed at schoolchildren that deals, from its beginning to its end, with Lanzarote and its reality in terms of sustainable development.
The notebook will be for students as "an excursion" around the island without leaving the classroom. Through it, they will learn about all those elements of Lanzarote that together make it worthy of the prestigious Biosphere Reserve award. The notebook will help students to value and protect the island.
