The Ecologica Institute (IE) along with the Embassy of Japan held today, the opening ceremony of the Centre for Training in the municipality of Pium-TO. The event will be attended by the Minister of the Embassy of Japan, Tatsuo Arai, his delegation and officials from the State of Tocantins. The partnership between the Institute and the Japanese government began in March this year, through an agreement to reform the Training Center for the benefit of local communities.
The Center was renovated to create a location to meet and offer training programs involving issues such as sustainable development, income generation and climate change for communities located around the APA | Bananal Island Canton.
The physical space of the Centre was structured with a computer room to offer digital inclusion programs, a workshop for sewing courses, a semi-industrial kitchen and a library.
