Yesterday was a day to receive students! This activity fills us with joy. Once again we received the visit of 22 second-year agricultural high school students from the UTU – General Directorate of Professional Technical Education, from the Presidente Tomás Berreta School of Viticulture.

Accompanied by their teachers, Nefi Echevarría and Marian Lancibidad, the group spent the entire afternoon with our veterinarian, Dr. Mauro Torterolo, and with our production manager, Ángel Lezcano.

They were able to participate in some activities with our team in an afternoon full of information and learning.

The main objective of the event was to generate an instance for discussion and reflection on the immediate actions to be taken in strategic sectors within the framework of the Glasgow Pact, considering the challenges and opportunities imposed by the climate crisis. It had a first day of conferences and panels in three thematic areas (Mitigation, Adaptation, and Finance and collaboration) developed in person at the British Residence facilities, with the participation of some international speakers through videoconference, and an online workshop for key players on the second day.
Due to the alignment found between Campo Longley and the topics to be discussed, it was a special pleasure to support this initiative and be able to expand the scope of this event and thus achieve a greater impact.

In addition to the support of Campo Longley, this project was financed by the Chevening Alumni Program Fund and has been declared of interest by the Uruguayan Ministry of the Environment.

Campo Longley was invited to participate in a lunch on 3/22/22 with the presence of Cristina Morán as speaker of a very enriching and motivating talk. Together with leaders from a wide variety of companies, we had the opportunity to discuss the challenges of gender equality in the business sphere and expand the alliances of the social network of volunteers trained to save lives in an emergency offered by Helpers.

With the coordination of Agent Tania Leonida Natali de Souza Rojas of the Progreso 19 sectional police detachment, we had the opportunity to receive in our establishment for a talk on fire emergency prevention the Assistant Officer of the Las Piedras fire department, Pedro Moreira de Leon. In addition, we have the presence of the illustrious Commissioner of the Progreso Sectional Police Detachment 19, David Bayarres Garcia.

In this instance, we had the chance to listen and learn important guidelines on these emergencies and the best prevention and action techniques.

From August to December 2021 we welcome the students of 4th and 5th year, of the technological cycle of the undergraduate degree of the Faculty of Agronomy, based in the Faculty of the South Regional Center for different instances of activities that culminated in a report end of course presented to those in charge of our establishment.

The work consisted of the planning and organization carried out in the classroom with the support of the teachers and with the visits. And the report presented two proposals for the establishment to implement new activities for the purpose of economic expansion.

We were honored to have been invited by Cervieri Monsuárez office to participate in Module 1, part 3, on Sustainability. We shared our initiatives and our view on the subject.
We have the participation of our VP, David Dickinson, who shared his impressions on the subject and the presence of Sabina Gleicher, the manager of the farm.

We received the visit of 18 students from the agrarian baccalaureate of UTU – Dirección General de Educación Técnico – Profesional Superior School of Viticulture ¨Presidente Tomás Berreta¨ with whom in the second level they learn about dairy farming. Together with their Professors, Alejandro Quintero and Nefi Echevarria, they had a milking and guachera day at our facilities and with our people.
