Ecopapas: Traza y Recicla · Mobile classroom educational game

Give recycling a place in the school day.

Ecopapas helps primary and secondary students practice recycling through challenges rooted in Canary Islands geography and culture.

The objective

The Canary Islands Government needed a way to introduce recycling habits in classrooms across the islands.

The experience had to support regular teaching beyond a launch event or school assembly.

The experience

Students sort waste and clear litter through recycling scenarios set in familiar island environments.

A Guide Manual and glossary of Canarian heritage words help teachers connect the activities with lesson plans.

100k+ plays
