POSTER DESIGNING

Anna Errico, who belongs to the teaching staff as an educator in our institute, realized that there was the need to work with the students and make them aware of respecting the good environmental practices; she encouraged and promoted plenty of activities focused on saving water and energy, making separate collection and noise reduction. Her action involved teaching and non-teaching staff.

So, we have to thank Anna because she worked hard to introduce and promote the separate collection in our school. Finally now we have it!
