Cemex Hrvatska (Cemex Croatia) has confirmed that it is continuing its long-standing cooperation with Eco Schools in Kaštela and Solin this year. The partnership, which has lasted for more than two decades, encompasses several primary schools in the Kaštela and Solin areas.
Cemex has been collaborating with Vjekoslav Parać Primary School and Don Lovro Katić Primary School in Solin, as well as Knez Mislav Primary School in Kaštel Sućurac, since 2002. The network of partner Eco Schools was further expanded in 2023 with the addition of Kraljica Jelena Primary School in Solin.
The cooperation involves various educational activities, including workshops, visits to the cement factory and student participation in olive harvests. Such activities enable students to have direct contact with the topics they study at school.
Alen Voloder, President of the Management Board of Cemex Hrvatska, highlighted the importance of continuing the cooperation, while Đuro Baloević, Principal of Vjekoslav Parać Primary School, confirmed that the school is participating in the programme this year. Their statements confirm that the partnership has continuity and is conducted according to an established model.
The international Eco Schools programme promotes education and upbringing through projects, workshops and activities focused on environmental protection. Students are thereby introduced to topics such as energy efficiency, rational water use and waste reduction, which are contents that schools implement in cooperation with economic entities such as Cemex.
The cooperation between Cemex and the Eco Schools thus covers four primary schools and is based on activities that bring environmental protection and sustainable behaviour topics closer to students. The programme continues this year, maintaining the existing scope of schools and activities.
