In 2023, a total of 44 outreach activities have been carried out: 34 were organized by the project, and 10 others by some of the local entities that support and collaborate with the project.
Most of the activities were addressed to the general public and were focused on presenting the project and promoting people’s participation.
However, since in 2023 different educational materials were released, a total of 15 educational activities have been addressed mainly to scholars and young audiences (8) but also to teachers, educationalist, environmental educators and technical staff (7) in order to promote and to make these materials known to the educational community.
