According to the director, the objective of the educational suitcases is “to approach the reality and to reflect with the students on what is happening in their social reality”. In this sense, Isus appealed to a greater participation in the elaboration of the didactic materials of the educational suitcases, to have a wider representation of the Pyrenean environment, and thus, to be able to create a more global awareness of the environment to the students, which will become the future managers of this species, of sustainability and the natural environment.

Sofia Isus also expressed the will of the Chair to develop this project to reach all Catalan populations and, the reality that the educational initiative PirosLife is one of the most successful actions of the Life project.

The day also had the participation of members of the Department of Territory and Sustainability of the Generalitat, project technicians, members of the Fundación Oso Pardo, and with the intervention of the head of networks of the European project PirosLife, Marcela Andreu.
