LIFE IP CLIMAZ project promotes environmental education at the 7th Environment Fair

July 3, 2025

Between 3 and 5 June, the 7th edition of the Environment Fair promoted by the Praia da Vitória City Council took place at the Terceira Island Youth and Arts Academy. The event was attended by the Secretariat for the Environment and Climate Action, through the LIFE SNAILS and LIFE IP CLIMAZ projects.

Over the three days, the fair welcomed 12 organisations from outside the municipality, 16 schools and 854 children, from pre-school to primary school, who actively participated in the various educational and environmental activities.

LIFE SNAILS organised the ‘Snails as Far as the Eye Can See’ workshop where, using an electronic magnifying glass, it was possible to observe various snails from this collection, looking at three types of these gastropods: those endemic to Portugal, non-endemic and endemic to Santa Maria.

LIFE IP CLIMAZ took part in an educational and interactive activity called ‘Trivial Climate Change in the Azores’, in which it challenged young people to test their knowledge of the different topics related to climate change.

With the financial support of the LIFE Programme of the European Union.
