The celebration of Earth Week, in coordination with the Municipal Educational Project (20 to 25 April), took place at the João da Silva Correia School Cluster, with activities that extended until 7 May, implemented across 39 classes, from the 1st cycle to secondary education, with more than one film viewed in many of them. The National Cinema Plan, in partnership with Eco-Schools, the Science in Action Club and the School Library, renewed its commitment as an Official Extension of the 31st edition of the Serra da Estrela International Environmental Film Festival (CineEco2025). A challenge of environmental reflection in defence of the planet was set, through cinema. In a transdisciplinary symbiosis, promoting a holistic and collaborative vision within the classroom, students explored documentaries and short films from the festival, with post-viewing reflection, to celebrate World Earth Day 2026, whose theme was “Our Power, Our Planet”, with the aim of inspiring them to think, feel and act in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
