Sixth-grade students from Miguel Hernández and Puig Campana schools in Benidorm participated this Monday in an escape room activity organised by the Water Cycle and Education departments, in collaboration with Veolia, the water management company. The initiative is part of the program of activities in the city for Water Week, which revolves around World Water Day, celebrated globally on March 22.

The Councillor for Education, Maite Moreno, accompanied the students during part of the activity, which took place in the City Hall's Assembly Hall.
