Menorca honours 21 schools for green projects

On Menorca, in the Balearic Islands, 21 schools gain recognition for environmental work on Friday, 13 November 2026: four win awards and 17 receive participation certificates. Mallorca has 101 schools taking part in the same Balearic programme. The islands’ departments of Agriculture, Fisheries and the Natural Environment and of Education and Universities give the recognition in the programme’s 22nd edition.

Castell de Santa Àgueda, Pere Casasnovas, Pintor Torrent and Sant Lluís receive the environmental school award, known as the Centro Ecoambiental award. Each has met the goals of its environmental project for two consecutive school years. The other 17 Menorca schools receive certificates for their work during the school year. They include schools whose award from the previous year remains valid.

Across the Balearic Islands, 159 schools take part: 101 on Mallorca, 34 on Ibiza, 21 on Menorca and three on Formentera. In all, 48 receive awards and 111 receive certificates. The programme helps schools and institutes build environmental projects into their studies. They set their own targets and assess the results, with the aim of making environmental protection part of everyday school life.
