More than 100 schoolchildren from the Lima district of San Luis participated in the activity that highlighted the importance of geology, responsible mining and caring for the planet.Within the framework of International Earth Day, the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) participated in an educational day held at the Bicentenario Educational Institution 0083 San Juan Macias, in the district of San Luis (Lima), strengthening the knowledge of a hundred schoolchildren in matters of geology, sustainability and the contribution of responsible mining to the development of the country.
The objective of the day was to promote among young people greater environmental awareness, the appreciation of natural resources, the importance of sustainable development and interest in related technical and professional careers that contribute to the care of the planet and national progress.
Representing the MINEM, the general director of Mining Promotion and Sustainability, Gaby Julca Cumbicus, explained that urban and rural development maintains a close relationship with geology, since homes, schools, hospitals, roads and technology depend on resources from the subsoil.
Therefore, he highlighted the need to recognize the contribution of these activities to the well-being of the population and promote their sustainable development. In turn, the mayor of San Luis, Ricardo Perez Castro, supported the importance of this day, as well as encouraging young students to care for the environment.
During the day, the MINEM delivered educational material and provided information about the potential of the Peruvian mining sector, as part of its commitment to the education and training of citizens informed about the responsible use of natural resources.
The activity was organized by the XXIII Peruvian Congress of Geology 2026, with the participation of the Geological Society of Peru, SENCICO, the Educational Institution 0083 San Juan Macias, the MINEM and the District Municipality of San Luis.
