Ecos Foundation

ONE PLACE.
ONE MISSION.
ONE DAY
THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.

Not every transformative experience requires a week in the field. Our Excursions are precision-designed half-day and full-day encounters. Ideal for visiting academic groups, and anyone who has one day and unlimited curiosity.

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.
