Jugando con el Reciclaje: Promoviendo la Actividad Física y el Cuidado del Medio Ambiente en el Colegio San Martin de Porres

Abstract

The degree work titled "Playing with Recycling: Promoting Physical Activity and Environmental Care at San Martín de Porres School" addresses sedentary lifestyle and lack of environmental awareness in students. An educational intervention is proposed that combines play with recycling to promote healthy habits and a culture of sustainability, based on the theory of meaningful learning. By integrating recreational activities, we seek to achieve deep learning about the importance of environmental care, highlighting play as a key to the comprehensive development of young people. The methodology includes an action plan with activities such as training circuits using recycled materials, waste sorting games and creative workshops. Through observation, surveys and data analysis, the impact of the intervention on students' knowledge and attitudes is evaluated. Preliminary results show that the proposal has been well received, increasing interest in recycling and physical activity, as well as knowledge about waste management. In conclusion, the study shows that play and recycling are effective tools to promote environmental education and health, contributing to the formation of citizens committed to caring for the planet.
