Within the framework of the Interinstitutional Cooperation Agreement recently signed between Toyota del Perú and the Regional Government of Callao (GORE Callao), both institutions joined forces to recognize the talent and commitment of Chalaco students through the awarding of the Second Regional Environmental Contest “A la Chalaca”, an initiative that promotes environmental awareness and the participation of the educational community of Callao in the construction of sustainable solutions for their community.
Organized by the Regional Management of Natural Resources and Environmental Management of GORE Callao, this contest aims to motivate schoolchildren to identify local environmental problems and propose projects that contribute to sustainability and the protection of the environment.
In its second edition, the call exceeded all expectations, bringing together 456 registered teams, representing nearly 2,600 students from public and private educational institutions in Callao. Of them, 71 teams met the established requirements to continue in competition and, after the technical evaluation of professionals from the Regional Government, 20 teams were selected for the second stage. Finally, 10 projects reached the final stage, where they presented their proposals before a qualifying jury that recognized the three best environmental projects.
The evaluation criteria considered the mastery of the topic, the positive environmental impact, the creativity and the feasibility of the proposal. The winners received state-of-the-art laptops and tablets, as well as financial recognition for their outstanding participation.
“For Toyota del Perú, an opportunity to continue promoting environmental education and sustainable mobility from the classrooms, this time with students from Callao. We firmly believe that young people are agents of change capable of promoting innovative solutions for a cleaner and more responsible future,” highlighted David Caro, Corporate Affairs Manager at Toyota del Perú.
For his part, the regional governor of Callao, Ciro Castillo Rojo Salas, highlighted the importance of this alliance and its impact on the educational community:
“We thank Toyota del Perú for joining this initiative that seeks to raise environmental awareness in our young people. This joint work between the public and private sectors allows us to move towards a more sustainable region, with citizens committed to caring for their environment,” stated the regional authority.
