Based on the Eco-Schools program with the theme “Climate Action, Outdoor Spaces, Biodiversity: Preserve and Regenerate,” PhD student Daniela Ferreira da Silva led the “Environmental Action” workshop at EB 2,3 Pêro Vaz de Caminha School (Porto) with class 9A and the Environmental Representatives from all 9th-grade classes on May 28, 2025.
The main goal of the workshop was to foster critical thinking around the political dimensions of climate change. Using photovoice methodology, mind mapping, and action strategy development, students explored ways to mitigate key environmental issues identified in their community: heavy traffic, excessive use of private cars, air pollution, and overcrowded bus stops.
Special thanks go to Professor Celeste Costa for her support in organizing and energizing the activity.
