Research for innovation

Students of Secondary Education and High School work in the Teen Smart City project, a program based on the use of new technologies and innovation that allow adolescents to participate in the creation of the smart city network of their municipality. Within the Teen Smart City project, the City of Pozuelo, together with the city’s Eco-schools and WLRL, have organized the “Walk to School” routes, an initiative where students walk to their schools in an ecological, safe and healthy way. The aim is to promote not only awareness of the environment, but also the social relations among all students during the journey.
