Pictures that show the enviromental culture in the ETITC

La fotografía como estrategia para construir cultura ambiental

The Interdisciplinary Group for Environmental Studies GEA, on the 23th and 24th of April of 2009, developed the first environmental photography contest under the name “How are we doing it in and around the ETITC?”. The activity sought to highlight and document, through images, the environmental culture of the academic community of the Escuela Técnológica Instituto Técnico Central (ETITC), and of the community sector. The participants were high school students, professional programs students and the academic and administrative staff. The images were focused in three areas: inside the ETITC, in its nearer areas, and finally in the nearest neighborhood of the School. This activity showed that there are significant social and environmental problems and that the community’s active participation is necessary to contribute with the solution, which must surely start with a change inside the institution.
