Education
UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIP PLAN
Our objective is to facilitate access to quality higher education for young people residing in the communities of our area of influence in Magdalena.
The Prodeco Scholarships finance 100% of the tuition and provide living allowance to students during the entire degree program.
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS
We contribute to a process of environmental education that allows people to explore environmental issues, engage in problem solving, and take action to improve the environment. As a result, communities develop the skills to make informed and responsible decisions.
- School Environmental Projects (PRAE)
PRAE are implemented in educational institutions of our area of influence. The program engages students and teachers to strengthen an environmental culture in which everyone encourages resource efficiency and promotes good environmental practices. Participants receive training and accompaniment during the implementation of the program.
- Citizen Environmental Education Projects (PROCEDA)
PROCEDA is an initiative developed by groups of citizens whose objective is to promote good environmental practices in their communities.
Through this program, different ventures have been created through which goods and services are offered to the community from recycled inputs or environmentally friendly activities.
