Since 2019 we have been working to promote a regenerative school model in the 7 public schools of Nosara, putting into practice the pillars of the Education Policy and Action Plan for Sustainable Development.

These edible gardens, part of our regenerative schools program, were created in collaboration with the support of the school boards, parents, the Nosara Food Bank, Harmony Projects, the Olas Verdes hotel, Lagarta Lodge hotel and Nosara Hardware Store. We will continue to promote edible gardens as an essential environmental, socio emotional and economic resource for schools.

Through bio empathy workshops, breathing tools from our Pure Edge allies, as well as yoga movements, mental health is promoted in the students of the Nosara schools. The impact of COVID 19 made even more visible the need to strengthen the socio-emotional health of students to support their well-being and even improve their academic performance.

Thanks to Luis Zamora from Miel Dorada De La Bajura with whom we will continue working to make Nosara a bee-friendly community. Thanks to Katherine Terrell for sponsoring the Del Mar Academy Beehive, Matt and Yasmine Johnson for sponsoring the Santa Marta School Beehive, and the Chambers family for sponsoring the Las Delicias Beehive.

On April 13 we had the visit of the regional directors of the province of Guanacaste, supervisors and pedagogical advisers of the Ministry of Public Education for a workshop of experiences and transformation on education for sustainable development.

We thank the Hotel Boutique Lagarta Lodge for the cooperation in the use of the “La Arribada” room and Edunamica CR for the support for food and accommodation for the workshop. We continue to make progress in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals.

OBJECTIVE: To reward and make visible the agents of change in education for sustainable development in two modalities: principals and teachers within the province of Guanacaste (Nicoya, Santa Cruz, Liberia and Cañas).

We wish to learn more about the initiatives, efforts and participation of school principals and teachers, who work in the province of Guanacaste, who have been promoting and inspiring education for sustainable development in their communities.

We invite you to explore our platform used by teachers, environmental educators, librarians,moms and other professionals from 21 countries, mainly in Latin America. Our free educational platform arises from our commitment to break any barrier to access the information necessary to educate new generations about the protection of natural resources. Find over a hundred interactive lessons on 12 environmental topics tied to core subjects.

Our alliance with Corclima will allow the creation of resources for teachers on climate change linked to basic subjects that we hope will soon be on our free educational platform available to teachers in Costa Rica and beyond our borders.

Education Reengagement

We are partnering with Edunamica to propel concrete actions to support the young and adult population of Nosara and their needs for education, employability and quality of life, especially, of people with greater factors of social and educational vulnerability.

Together with the Costa Rican Humanistic College of the UNA-Campus Nicoya we are exploring how to move education towards a regenerative model. Do we have all the answers? No, but we are going to find them out together.
