📋 Tender Overview
Schools of the Sagrada Familia school learn to convert waste into useful supplies for their projects, promoting good environmental practices from the classrooms.The Peruvian Amazon Research Institute (IIAP), an entity attached to the Ministry of Environment, trained the students of the Environmental Brigade of the Sagrada Familia College in the management of the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia Illucens).
The workshop was aimed at third grade students. The objective was to teach them how to take advantage of organic waste to turn them into food into their school raising projects ornamental and consumer raising. The school has a total of 900 students, both of the initial, primary and secondary levels.
The use of larvae as a source of fish food is a sustainable alternative that the IIAP has been promoting for some years, under the conduction of the biologist Miriam Alvan Aguilar. On this occasion, the training was in charge of coach Virton Huayunga Sairo.
Students actively participated, learning to identify and manage the different stages of the fly cycle. In addition, they managed to install a pilot module inside the school to put into practice what they learned.
This activity is part of the Solid waste assessment within the framework of the circular economy, which reinforces the recycling and segregation of waste that the school has begun to implement this year.
