MONALISA continues its school outreach in Fuente la Lancha
A classroom session at CEIP Santa Catalina on soil health and sustainability
As part of ADROCHES’ ongoing school outreach activities, the MONALISA project continued its visits to local schools with an on-site workshop at CEIP Santa Catalina in Fuente la Lancha (Córdoba, Spain) on 13 November 2025. The session brought together a small group of students for an interactive introduction to soil health and the challenges linked to soil degradation.
Connecting MONALISA to everyday life
Soil is easy to overlook, yet it supports many things students see around them every day – food production, local landscapes, biodiversity, and water regulation. During the workshop, Aleix Antonell and Juan Francisco Díaz (ADROCHES) presented MONALISA’s core mission in accessible language, linking European research and innovation to very practical local realities.
Key topics discussed
The session focused on clear takeaways students could remember and relate to:
Soil is a living resource and needs to be protected.
Soil degradation can affect rural areas over time through erosion, loss of fertility, and reduced resilience to climate pressures.
Projects like MONALISA help build solutions by improving knowledge, monitoring, and awareness – supporting better practices and long-term sustainability.
With a small group, students had space to ask questions and engage directly, turning the presentation into a real conversation rather than a one-way lecture.
School outreach helps build long-term impact by encouraging curiosity and environmental responsibility early on. It also helps show that European initiatives are not distant or abstract: they connect to local communities through learning, dialogue, and shared awareness.
MONALISA project thanks the teachers and students of CEIP Santa Catalina for their warm welcome and participation. We look forward to continuing these educational activities and sharing more moments from the classrooms we visit.
