DONME - De Olho no Material Escolar
Copersucar and its associated mills have started, in partnership with the non-profit institution De Olho no Material Escolar, a project intended to teach professors and students of the public system about agribusiness and the sugar and energy sector. This initiative seeks to increase knowledge on environmental, social, economic, and technological aspects related to sugar and bioethanol production, by means of an approach based on scientific principles, practical experience, and learning results.
This project starts with the "Masters in Agriculture", a stage focusing on teaching teachers and offering support for content preparation. Afterwards, students participate in "Living and Practicing", with visits to mills of the Copersucar Ecosystem to learn up close about their operations. In the end, students do classroom projects to ensure this content is assimilated.
Among the discussed topics are the economic relevance of the sugar and energy sector, good sustainability practices in the field, innovation and new sugarcane by-products, such as biomethane and biomass energy.
