The Planet Thanks

is an art-education project focused on environmental awareness through creative, accessible and inspiring experiences.

With a positive approach, we promote sustainable practices that can be incorporated into everyday life in a simple and effective way.

Through a bilingual and interactive musical performance—combining theater, music, and dance—and creative recycling workshops, the project transforms ecological learning into a playful, sensitive, and engaging experience. The activities are designed for children, families, and communities, encouraging reflection, creativity, and environmental stewardship.

Now, we're launching a new chapter in this journey: the book O Planeta Agradece – Tekne teaches recycling through play, currently in pre-release. With accessible language and an engaging narrative, the book presents concepts of ecology and sustainability in a fun and educational way for children.

Explore the website to learn more about the show, workshops, and book. Together, we can build paths of transformation and care for nature.

Pulgas Mix - Festival de Cultura en Acción in Barcelona, Spain, had the pleasure of working for several years with the project “O Planeta Agradece” as coordinator and promoter of the festival’s star area called PULGAS PETIT, offering workshops and shows dedicated to children, with a focus on environmental awareness. Functioning as an experimental laboratory of artistic dimensions and social coexistence, it was created by the artist Amarilis Vitale. The partnership’s main objective was to catalyze each participant’s creative capacity to reuse materials, thus expanding global awareness of the 5Rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, Rethink and Refuse), above all by encouraging teamwork, the reuse of materials, the recycling of household waste, socialization, and the concepts of representation and identity. An absolute success with the public and critics.
