Dozens of people arrived at the Loncotoro School in Llanquihue with shovels, gloves, wheelbarrows, and lots of energy to perform a deep cleaning of the forest and stream that are part of the establishment, thus reclaiming the natural space.
The activity was carried out as part of the implementation of the "Learning Landscape" project by Fundación Patio Vivo, a non-profit organization that transforms the courtyards of kindergartens, schools, and high schools across the country into outdoor teaching spaces.
During the process, various debris such as chairs, paint cans, and benches were collected, which had been abandoned in the forest years ago. The goal is to restore the area to integrate nature, education, and the community in a single space.
The director of innovation and impact at Patio Vivo, Marcial Huneeus, explained that the transformation impacts not only the physical space but also involves the entire educational and local community, empowering them and giving them ownership of the courtyard.
"Restoring this place, with the support of students, parents, teachers, administrators, and Patio Vivo, not only meant cleaning up debris but also building community and promoting a new culture of care and gathering," he emphasized.
The initiative, which is part of a broader strategy by Fundación Patio Vivo in the Los Lagos Region, aims to innovate in education through the schoolyard, fostering a connection with nature and play, rescuing biodiversity, strengthening environmental education from childhood, and promoting student well-being.
