Teachers trained on a 2.6 km Monsanto trail walk

Topicsenvironmental literacyurban green infrastructure

The LPN, backed by EPAL, ran a training session for teachers in Lisbon's Monsanto Forest Park on 7 November 2026. Over a walk of about 2.6 km, participants first tackled mobile-device questions on their own, then discussed answers at the Alameda Keil do Amaral viewpoint. A guided stretch followed, led by an Escola Superior de Educação de Lisboa professor and an LPN colleague, covering biodiversity, geology and the role of water in Lisbon's growth. The aim was to show how urban green spaces can host interdisciplinary field lessons that teachers adapt to their own pupils. The session fits the national environmental education strategy to 2030.
