Garda Uno Showcases Student Environmental Projects at Villa Tassinara
“For a Better Garda” is the theme of a celebration that took place last Saturday at Villa Tassinara in Rivoltella, marking the conclusion of the regional event Expo Scuola-Ambiente 2000. The works created by students from the Garda area were presented and displayed as part of the activities carried out by Garda Uno as a service to the community.
This served as a final showcase for several initiatives related to environmental education, developed through collaboration with teachers from primary and secondary schools. At the end of these activities, Garda Uno aimed to offer a public occasion to communicate the educational pathways undertaken.
The project and its collaborations
A pilot project, implemented during this school year, coordinated by Professor Adalberto Da Casto and carried out in collaboration with: Meridiani of Turin (European Association for Culture), engineer Jarach; Cnr – Irss of Milan, remote sensing section – engineer Zilioni; Consulenze Geologiche ed Ambientali of Riva (Trento) – Dr. Ceschini; Associazione Indipendentemente (publisher of Dipende) architect Visconti, as well as other experts in various fields of education and information.
The project was structured into educational units on the water cycle and its energy potential; sustainable management of resources: waste as a resource (separate collection, alternative and renewable energy sources).
Methodology and student involvement
“The focus was on actively engaging students by combining theory with practice, classroom exercises, and field trips,” explained Guido Maruelli, President of the Azienda Speciale Garda Uno.
The interventions planned for each topic included support and scientific assistance to the involved teachers, according to a schedule coordinated with the schools.
Events and awards
This significant moment for the students and their parents was attended by the mayors of the Municipalities participating in the Consorzio. The awards ceremony for the schools that participated with educational projects at Expo Scuolambiente will take place the day after tomorrow at 11 a.m.
