Didactic Proposals for the school year 2011/2012

Parco Fluviale del Po torinese collaborates with schools, local subjects and authorities operating within its territory, suggesting environmental education activities to schools and organized groups.
It belongs to Sistema Provinciale dei Centri di Educazione Ambientale della Provincia di Torino, is recognized as an autonomous center and, thanks to the coordination with Laboratorio Territoriale in Turin, plans and implements every year environmental education projects dedicated to schools and aimed at spreading the culture of environmental and social sustainability in the provincial territory.
The area of the Po River Park, characterized by the presence of very different features - sites of great naturalistic value, presence of human activity, careful planning for environmental rehabilitation - has all the potentialities of a real "educational laboratory" scattered all over the territory. Its characteristic connotation of urban park gives the opportunity to thoroughly study the relationships existing between man and environment, carrying out educational activities on naturalistic issues, also reaching with public means of transport unique and wonderful urban places situated within the Park Nature Reserves.
Environmental Education at school has a transversal and interdisciplinary training dimension and is a powerful instrument for teachers to arouse in pupils passion, interest, and respect towards the environment; with a clear awareness and a better understanding of the problems and the environmental features, for the creation of correct behaviors towards the environment and the use of the resources. The Park Authority has a Didactic and Environmental Education Service putting at disposal school seats interested in activating specific projects, to develop programs of activities or to organize tours in the territory of the protected area.

"Luoghi per scoprire"
This is the name of a route aiming at creating a network of structures dealing with education activities in the territory of Po Torinese River Park. The project was born as a contribution by Po Torinese River Park and Regione Piemonte to meet the need of putting in touch structures operating in the field of education to the earth and to sustainability. In order to share and convey experiences, passion, and professional skills, the didactic structures joining this network have created a permanent working group with the aim to improve the quality of the services offered and strengthen together the man-territory relationship.
