The participation of children in the program during the first edition of the Festival was very active. Sessions were organized for exchange with specialists and scientists, where there were comments, interventions, questions, and answers. Teachers of geography, biology, among others, also joined. School directors positively valued the program overall and expressed their interest in continuing to participate in future screenings, as they consider that the program should be expanded, given the motivation it generated in students and their contribution to environmental education and the sustainable development of future generations.

As complementary actions, students from Celia Sánchez Manduley School created the first Isla Verde action group. Visits to different schools were also conducted, along with theater and music workshops, as well as donations of school materials to homes for children without parental care. Additionally, the Antonio Núñez Jiménez Silver Medal was awarded to the "We Are the Ones Around Us" project by the Pioneer Scouts Movement for their achievements in caring for and promoting the natural environment of Isla de la Juventud.

Regarding the exhibition of materials, 5 documentaries, 6 animations, and 8 3D documentaries were presented.
