From 30 June to 4 July 2026, ADPP Guinea-Bissau conducted the evaluation of the Inter-School Competition under the project "Raising Awareness of Communities in the Cacheu and Oio Regions for Climate Change Adaptation", implemented in partnership with the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Senegal.
Six schools from the Cacheu and Oio regions took part in the initiative, presenting creative works focused on environmental protection, forest conservation, recycling, and climate change adaptation. Through paintings, sculptures, murals, drawings, and other artistic expressions, the students demonstrated their understanding of environmental challenges and highlighted practical actions that contribute to more resilient and sustainable communities.
Following the evaluation process, the four highest-performing schools were recognised for the quality, creativity, and relevance of their work:
- 1st Place: EBU Antotinha
- 2nd Place: EBU Pandim
- 3rd Place: EBU Gã-Mamudo
- 4th Place: EBU Bissorã
Beyond recognising outstanding student achievements, the competition reinforced the importance of environmental education as a key tool for promoting behavioural change and strengthening community resilience. By encouraging students to reflect on local environmental issues and develop creative solutions, the initiative contributes to building greater environmental awareness and fostering long-term commitment to sustainable natural resource management.
Through activities such as the Inter-School Competition, the project continues to support the development of informed and engaged communities capable of contributing to climate change adaptation and environmental sustainability in the Cacheu and Oio regions.
