Ecoteca

First ecoteca of the Azores has new infrastructures in Pico

The first ecoteca of the Azores, which opened in October 1999 in a building of the Regional Secretariat for the Environment and the Sea in Madalena do Pico, has, since last week, new infrastructures.

As part of a protocol established between the Government and the local municipality, the Ecoteca of Pico changed for the building of the Municipal Stadium of Madalena.

The new space, of bigger dimension, allows the fulfilment of a more diversified set of activities, namely conferences and training courses.

The Ecoteca of Pico maintains, on the other side, the services of Resource Centre, Library/Media Library specialized in the area of the Environment and computers with access to the Internet for researches and works in this area, with functioning schedule from 9am till 12.30pm and from 2pm till 5.30pm, on weekdays.

In the ceremony of inauguration of the new building the Echo-school 2007/08 rewards were delivered to 11 schools of the island which participated with merit in this program - EBIS of S. Roque do Pico, Professional School of Pico, EBIS of Madalena do Pico, Occupational Activities Centre of the House of Mercy of Madalena, EB1JI of Bandeiras, EB1JI of S. Mateus, EB1JI of S. Caetano, EB1JI of S. João, EB1JI of Silveira, EB1JI of Piedade and EB1JI of Calheta do Nesquim.

Besides the reward, the Occupational Activities Centre (DOG) of the House of Mercy of Madalena received, also, an Honours distinction for the participation in the “Echo-code” Competition.

The prizes of the “Environment with humour” cartoons’ competition were, equally, delivered which distinguished Daniela Dutra and Patrícia Fontes, respectively of the level of third grade and of secondary one, of the EBIS of Madalena.

The pupils Flávio Martins, of Lajes, and Elisa Goulart, of Madalena, received the Prize of the Audience.
