Eco Rally 2026 Inspires Cancun Children as Environmental Change Agents

Cancun, Quintana Roo — The nonprofit organization Ecoliiks, in partnership with Aion, Red Ambiental, and Psicología con Mente & Corazón, hosted the Eco Rally 2026, an environmental education and corporate volunteering event at the DIF Benito Juárez temporary shelter.

Children and teenagers took part in recreational activities, team-building exercises, and workshops focused on waste management, ecobrick production, and circular economy principles. Through hands-on learning, they discovered how materials typically considered trash can be turned into useful community resources.

“At Ecoliiks, we believe that transforming waste is important, but transforming perspectives is even more valuable,” said Danniela Benitez, director of Ecoliiks. “When we introduce new generations to the circular economy, environmental education, and community participation, we plant seeds that can become opportunities for them, their families, and their communities.”

The event also highlighted the positive impact of corporate volunteering, with employees from various companies dedicating their time and skills to create a meaningful experience that promoted empathy, civic engagement, teamwork, and environmental responsibility.

With this initiative, Ecoliiks reaffirms its commitment to projects that integrate environmental education, circular economy, social responsibility, and community participation.
