We are excited to share that as part of the Genera project, we had the opportunity to visit the Councilor of Sant Josep de sa Talaia as well as the Councilor for the Environment and the Technical Department of the Council. It was a productive meeting where we discussed our initiatives and future collaborations.
This year’s challenge was “Tomorrow’s collective, sustainable spaces”. Students were encouraged to focus on a building (school, gym etc) of their town and find innovative ways to improve its hashtag#energyefficiency and hashtag#sustainability.
