For four days, students from Quell\u00f3n, Ra\u00fal Mar\u00edn Balmaceda, Puerto Gala and Melimoyu traveled to the Melimoyu Nature Reserve and, together with the MERI Foundation environmental education team and all the people who work on the Reserve, lived the experience of the Navigators\u2019 Camp.<\/p>\n
Each day, in a program built under the Cort\u00e9s Solari Philanthropy educational model, which focuses on comprehensive learning, the students learn by exploring trails, taking samples to process in the laboratory, and recognizing the biodiversity and value of their own territory along with young people from neighboring towns.<\/p>\n
To attend this camp, these students, along with their teachers, presented social, cultural or environmental projects that respond to the needs of their own communities and that are focused on improving the quality of life in their territories.<\/p>\n
The following are the projects that were selected:<\/p>\n
\u201cDo Not Run Out of Batteries<\/strong>\u201d project<\/strong><\/p>\n Prepared by students and a teacher from the Amanda Labarca Humberstone school of Ra\u00fal Mar\u00edn Balmaceda (commune of Cisnes, Ays\u00e9n Region), in the area of \u200b\u200b\u201cTechnological Development\u201d. They will establish \u201cgreen spots\u201d for the disposal of old batteries, avoiding their impact on the environment and local health. They have the support of the local municipal office and the illustrious municipality of Cisnes to send the batteries to Coyhaique to be reused.<\/p>\n \u201cEnvironmental Workshop on Space Recovery and <\/strong>\u2018Green Spot<\/strong>\u2019 Management<\/strong>\u201d project<\/strong><\/p>\n Prepared by students and a teacher from the Madre de la Divina Providencia school in Puerto Gala (commune of Cisnes, Ays\u00e9n Region), in the area of \u201cTechnological Development\u201d. The project seeks to recover social spaces with large amounts of garbage on the island, in addition to establishing a \u201cgreen spot\u201d to recycle waste; this last one with the support of the company Blumar that has already installed the \u201cgreen spot\u201d. The idea was born from the burning of garbage in Puerto Gala and the final disposal of garbage in a nearby landfill.<\/p>\n \u201cMelimoyu, a Little of our History, our People and their Places<\/strong>\u201d project<\/strong><\/p>\n Prepared by students and a teacher from the rural school Melimoyu of Melimoyu (commune of Cisnes, Ays\u00e9n Region), in the area of \u200b \u201cSocial Sciences\u201d. The project aims to rescue the history of the town of Melimoyu, its main environmental attractions as well as the history of its community spaces.<\/p>\n \u201cCleaning Sleeve for Contaminated Water Made of Pompom Moss and Human Hair<\/strong>\u201d project<\/strong><\/p>\n Prepared by a student and a teacher of the Centro educacional San Agust\u00edn de Quell\u00f3n (commune of Quell\u00f3n, Los Lagos Region), in the area of \u200b\u200b\u201cNatural Sciences\u201d. Its purpose is to research whether a low-cost sleeve, made with pantyhose, human hair and pompom moss (Sphagnum magellanicum), is capable of cleaning and decontaminating water polluted by human activities, for example with oil and antifouling paint.<\/p>\n \u201cWater as a Tool Against Environmental Pollution Produced by Wood-Burning Heaters<\/strong>\u201d project <\/strong><\/p>\n Prepared by students and a teacher from the Liceo de alta exigencia Paulo Freire de Quell\u00f3n (commune of Quell\u00f3n, Los Lagos Region), in the area of \u200b\u200b\u201cTechnological Development\u201d. Inspired by mining filters or \u201cscrubbers\u201d, they created a closed system that sprays water on the emissions of wood-burning stoves, transforming the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into carbonic acid. The school has an active system and no smoke or particulate emissions have been observed.<\/p>\n \u201cConstruction of the Patagonian Identity from the Island of Chilo\u00e9<\/strong>\u201d project <\/strong><\/p>\n Prepared by students and a teacher from the Escuela oriente de Quell\u00f3n (commune of Quell\u00f3n, Los Lagos Region), in the area of \u200b\u200b\u201cSocial Sciences\u201d. The project seeks to identify cultural elements of the Chiloe population that contributed to the shaping of the Magellan identity in southern Chile. Through interviews, literature review and statistical information, they determined that the Chilotes migrated at the beginning of the 20th century due to the lack of work on the island, taking their Chilote customs and traditions to Magallanes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For four days, students from Quell\u00f3n, Ra\u00fal Mar\u00edn Balmaceda, Puerto Gala and Melimoyu traveled to the Melimoyu Nature Reserve and,…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":63753,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,156],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-63752","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-meri","8":"category-news"},"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.2","language":"en","enabled_languages":["es","en"],"languages":{"es":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false}}},"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fundacionmeri.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fundacionmeri.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fundacionmeri.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fundacionmeri.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fundacionmeri.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63752"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fundacionmeri.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63752\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fundacionmeri.cl\/en\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fundacionmeri.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fundacionmeri.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fundacionmeri.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
