2016 HIGHLIGHTS
New Nursery Garden School
and Virada Sustentável
Salvador (Bahia)
In 2016, this project was marked by
the inauguration of a new nursery
garden school in Bom Jesus da
Lapa, Bahia. A new model for the
program was developed, with the
creation of the Itinerant Nursery
Garden School, which was displayed
throughout the year in places such
as malls and squares, also in Bahia,
at opportune moments such as
Environment Week and Forest Day,
in June and September.
Also, the 1st Virada Sustentável
Salvador took place, a festival
that, through art, culture, and
games, offered reflections on
several aspects of sustainability,
with cultural activities and training
in parks and public spaces around
the city. The Itinerant Nursery
Garden School attended the event
and provided sensitivity training
for about 3,300 people, donated
450 seedlings of species native to
the Atlantic Rainforest, and 500
children participated in seedling
production workshops.
Summer Eco Parque Sauípe
In 2016, another edition
of the Summer Eco Parque
Sauípe Project was held in the
municipality of Mata de São João,
which promoted adventurous
activities such as a climbing wall,
a zipline, and kayak tours. There
were over 1,700 visitors during
the two months of the project. Eco
Parque Sauípe protects an area
of 66 hectares in the transition
region between two ecosystems in
the Atlantic Rainforest: the forest
and the restinga.
BRASKEM'S REGIONAL
INITIATIVES IN BRAZIL
Braskem Theater Award
(Bahia) and Braskem em Cena
Award (Rio Grande do Sul)
Salvador hosted the 24th edition of
the Braskem Theater Award, which
received 2,400 people at its awards
ceremony. Other initiatives within
the project include the Braskem
Theater Award Circuit, a theater
festival in the state of Bahia, and
the Braskem Theater Award Show,
which warms up the local scene
and brings the shows closer to the
audience, which was about 3,000
people at the presentations in 2016.
The Rio Grande do Sul initiative takes
place during Porto Alegre em Cena,
one of the largest performing arts
festivals in Latin America, awarding
professionals and plays in six
categories. In 2016, a total of 4,500
spectators went to see the plays
nominated for the award. There are
also projects Sábado em Cena and
Braskem "Descentralização Braskem
em Cena," focused on attracting
audiences and presenting street
shows in communities farthest away
from Porto Alegre's cultural centers.
Inovar para Construir
(Rio de Janeiro)
Held in partnership with the
FIRJAN System, the Inovar para
Construir (Innovate to Build)
project is an initiative that
seeks to disseminate solutions
for plastic for civil construction.
