Students in Nariño undergo coffee production training
The Institución Educativa Técnica Agropecuaria organized a pedagogical workshop for ninth-grade students in Santa Cecilia, located in the municipality of San Lorenzo, Nariño. The initiative aimed to strengthen students' knowledge of coffee production and connect them with the agricultural practices central to the region's economic and cultural identity.
The program combined theoretical and practical sessions, covering topics from the origin of the coffee bean to its importance for local community development. Students received guidance on proper plantation management and technical skills applicable to the coffee sector.
A key component of the workshop was the practical construction of germination beds. During this activity, participants learned seed selection, substrate preparation, and the specific conditions required for successful germination. The session also focused on promoting teamwork and collaborative learning among the youth.
