FCC Medio Ambiente
promotes
environmental education for children with
the recycling ‘Goose Game’
FCC Medio Ambiente’s Centre Branch
Office launched an educational program
for 5-6 year olds to build awareness on
recycling and sorting waste through the
‘Goose Game’ board game.
This activity, conducted in Pozuelo de Alar-
cón (Madrid) was developed as part of
FCC’s policy of bringing the services that it
provides closer to the community and edu-
cating families on important issues such as
the conservation of the environment and
the sustainable development of cities.
The combined work of Antonio Rodríguez
Gómez, head of the FCC Medio Ambiente
Centre Branch Office, of Leo Guldentops
López, the head of the service, and of Ro-
berto Pérez, the foreman in charge of waste
collection and cleaning in Pozuelo de Alar-
cón, came up with the idea of creating a
recycling ‘Goose Game’.
In this environmental version of the game,
children are the protagonists. Each player
is assigned a colour according to the type
of waste (Blue – paper/cardboard; Yellow
– containers; Green – Glass; and Orange,
household oil) that are used for playing on a
large board, jumping over the different bo-
xes as if they were game pieces.
Each of the boxes is assigned an educatio-
nal purpose, such as explaining recycling
concepts, informing them of where each
type of waste should be deposited, encou-
raging good environmental practices, or
warnings and prevention of uncivil practices.
This training project is part of the collabo-
ration activities that several schools are ca-
rrying out in collaboration with the Centre
Branch Office this year, such as the tour by
students from the SEK Santa Isabel school
to the various facilities at the municipal
waste collection and street cleaning faci-
lities in Pozuelo de Alarcón or the mobile
Clean Points (household waste recycling
bins) installed at various schools.
The goal is to educate
children on recycling and
the sorting of waste
