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 didactic proposals include classroom meetings and school trips, in agreement with the teachers.

The Didactic and Environmental Education Service of the Park Authority is at the disposal of the schools that want to carry out specific projects, developing programs of activities and organizing trips in the territory of the protected area. The service is situated in Corso Trieste 98, in Moncalieri, Tel. +39 01164880173 - E-mail: promozione.parcopotorinese@inrete.it
