Pérdida de la Biodiversidad.

 “CONCIENCIA” 2025 

CONVOCATORIA

We are pleased to announce the third edition of “Awareness.” This competition is aimed at children and youth from preschool to high school and seeks to encourage reflection and action on crucial issues focused on caring for our “common home,” inspired this school year by Pope Francis's encyclical “Laudato Si.” Awareness not only aims to raise awareness but also to highlight the importance of science and creativity in addressing these challenges, such as global warming. We invite all institutions to take part in this important mission and motivate their students to be part of the change and showcase their talent. Through this competition, science and creativity can come together to tackle environmental challenges.

Join us and use your scientific ingenuity to build a more sustainable future!
