How does the landscape relate to the fruits that grow in our local area?
The Geopark visited schools in Omitlán de Juárez to conduct the workshop “Discovering El Peral: From Landscape to Fruit.” The workshop was led by Alejandra Alvarado Zink, coordinator of the “Youth Towards Research” program at UNAM’s General Directorate for Science Communication, and María del Carmen Oviedo Parra, General Manager of the Comarca Minera UNESCO Global Geopark.
The activities took place at the Lic. Carlos Sánchez Mejorada General Rural Primary School in the community of Velasco and the Melchor Ocampo Primary School in the center of Omitlán.
The workshops engaged 203 children, introducing them to science and sustainable agriculture through an experience centered on the landscape and fruits of their local region.
These activities promote geo-education and learning among children based on their own environment.
