The Municipality of Soure received an Honorable Mention in the 5th National Education Awards, in the Environment and Sustainability category, for its "Educar para Transformar" project. The award ceremony took place on September 30th in Sardoal.

The distinction, presented at the Gil Vicente Cultural Center, highlights the work carried out by the municipality and its community in fostering a more informed, participatory, inclusive, and environmentally responsible territory.
The "Educar para Transformar – A Municipal Ecosystem of Environmental Education" project aims to create continuity between various environmental education experiences. It originates in schools but extends to involve families, local associations, businesses, parish councils, and the general population of the municipality.
This approach is integrated with other municipal initiatives, such as "Muros com Vida" (Walls with Life), "O Mar Começa Aqui" (The Sea Starts Here), and the "Rota Concelhia de Ação pelo Clima" (Municipal Climate Action Route). Participation in projects like +CLIMAGIR and LIFE NITRAZENS reinforces Soure's commitment to sustainability.
