This award, granted in the VIII edition of the FVMP Good Governance Awards 2025, recognizes an initiative that has managed to involve more than 1,200 students from Infant and Primary education in five schools in the municipality during the 2024-2025 school year, as well as teachers and hundreds of local families.
“"We have turned recycling into an experience shared by children and their families."
The campaign has gone far beyond the school environment, consolidating itself as a comprehensive environmental education strategy based on prevention, awareness, and citizen co-responsibility. The Councilor for Education of Onda, María Ojeda, collected the recognition, highlighting that the award values an educational approach that involves the entire city in caring for the environment.
The main focus of the campaign has been early awareness through a practical methodology. Throughout the school year, students worked on the three Rs—reduce, reuse, and recycle—by reusing household waste to create drawings, collective panels, and three-dimensional models that later formed part of a joint exhibition.
The project was developed in the five educational centers of Onda, ensuring that all Infant and Primary students actively participated in the programmed activities. In this way, learning allowed them to internalize sustainable habits through direct and daily experience.
'No llances res' has transcended the educational environment to become a project shared by all citizens. One of the most visible actions was the thematic School Carnival, which brought together more than 3,000 participants in the Víctor Cabedo pavilion with costumes made from reused materials, consolidating the campaign as a collective event of great social impact.
