Piovono idee! diventa progetto continuità

Piovono idee! (Cloudy with a Chance of ideas!) is the participative
scientific dissemination initiative of the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica
e Vulcanologia on environmental education designed specifically for
the last two primary school classes (ISCDE 1) and the first middle
school class (ISCDE 2), so it was chosen by the “Don Milani” (ex
ISA1) comprehensive institute of La Spezia as continuity project
between the two different school orders for the school year 2017/2018.
The aim was to promote scientific culture in Primary and Middle
Schools emphasizing the importance of Science in everyday life in
order to favor sustainable development of Society. To knowledge the
mechanisms that regulate the environment is increasingly important
and the educational dialogue between School and Research endorses
reflection starting from the sharing of personal experiences on the flood
phenomena that often affect the area of la Spezia with a participatory
experimental approach. Piovono idee! is an interactive learning
experience on hydrogeological risk and climate change. The active
path is rich of experiments, educational-scientific laboratories and
interactive exhibits to better understand the geological phenomena
through manipulation. The team role-playing games reinforce and
stimulate emotional intelligence instilling correct behaviour and
best practices. Visitors spontaneously ask questions in the area of
experience, and find answers in the area of knowledge, learn the key
concepts through learning by doing activities and conclude with role
playing to reflect on the sustainability of their daily behavior (area of
action). The exploration of Geosciences becomes a mean of raising
pupils’ awareness of environmental problems by understanding
natural phenomena. They learn that, through active and responsible
citizenship actions, coexistence with natural hazards is possible. We
can all do something to prevent catastrophes if we respect Nature and
our territory.
