Ecos Foundation

BUILDING GUARDIANS FOR A
SUSTAINABLE GALAPAGOS

Join a hands-on academic conservation expedition led by a 100% local nonprofit. Become an essential partner in the future of these islands.

The Crisis is Real.
The Solution is Education.

The global sustainability crisis requires us to rethink our relationship with nature. To change society, we must first transform education.

At ECOS, we use outdoor education to turn knowledge into action. We empower people to reflect and act as guardians of the planet, building sustainable communities for the common good.

Acuerdo Galápagos por la Educación

Junto al Ministerio de Educación coordinamos el Acuerdo Galápagos por la Educación (AGE), un colectivo público privado que busca la mejora educativa continua en las islas, a través de la articulación y la creación de política pública.

Escenarios vivenciales de aprendizaje

Galápagos proporciona un ambiente único para el aprendizaje fuera del aula. Los EVA proporcionan múltiples oportunidades para hacer del aprendizaje más relevante y duradero con el poder de la experiencia. Esto se puede lograr mediante la exposición de los estudiantes a nuevos entornos o de la interacción con expertos o personas de la comunidad que pueden ofrecer un aprendizaje nuevo. Diseñamos EVA como recurso de apoyo a los docentes.
