Through the Social Chess Project, Mayor Daniel Passerini delivered ten circular chess boards and a teaching blackboard to Club Atlético Belgrano.
The elements were manufactured with recycled materials in the Carpentry and Blacksmithing area of the Municipal School of Circular Economy (EMEC).
«Connecting, integrating and humanizing is a beautiful mandate. Belgrano is always one step ahead: it is a club that is part of the community and that speaks of the commitment it has to the people,” were the words of the mayor.
«Córdoba is the world capital of the Circular Economy. Today, climate change and so many inappropriate actions have dehumanized the planet and beginning to repair that damage requires committed actions,” said Passerini.
Dashboards with two different models were awarded: plywood with recycled materials and another with planked solid wood cutouts from engine boxes from the IVECO company.
Also delivered was a board for blind people and a teaching blackboard made from a metal frame with a sheet metal, whose pieces were made with vinyl glued to a magnet sheet so they could be used during chess classes.
“I hope there are many children and adults who play chess, because it develops intelligence, improves academic performance and helps to quickly solve problems, not only on the board, but in life,” said the second vice president of Belgrano, Alejandro Moyano.
In addition, the club authorities received a special board inside a polished box, with its respective silicone pieces.
Another board was delivered as a tribute to Guillermo Soppe, the club’s teacher. He was Argentine cadet champion, international master and absolute Argentine champion on two occasions.
«The mayor encouraged us to humanize management, and entrusted us with bringing Ente BioCórdoba products to the neighborhood, with a Circular Economy, sustainability and inclusion. Belgrano is a place of social cohesion, with respect and inclusion, a refuge where we come to learn. In chess you don’t lose: you win or you learn,” said the deputy director of Inclusive Sustainability, Rodrigo Rojas.
The activity was framed within the Social Chess Project carried out by the BioCórdoba Municipal Entity, which promotes a more sustainable and equitable society, through initiatives that combine the principles of the Circular Economy, inclusive education and the promotion of sports activities.
From the Circular Economy, the creation of chess games with recycled materials not only minimizes waste generation, but also encourages creativity and environmental awareness among participants.
The reuse of materials will contribute to reducing the demand for new resources and promoting sustainable practices.
