Education
Didactic Proposals School Year 2011/2012
A nature park is an ideal place to carry out didactic activities dealing with ecological issues, strategies for the conservation of nature and the promotion of sustainable development, and to preserve the knowledge of local traditions and the historical-cultural values of a territory.
Environmental education has the noble aim to direct the personal conscience towards a future in which the traces of man will harmoniously blend with the balance of the natural systems. The existence of protected areas is the evidence of the will to reach this kind of sustainable future, by preserving and enhancing the value of precious elements of the natural world and to rediscover man and his traditions, which are part of it.
A direct contact has been established both with the world of school (with a series of proposals supporting, strengthening, and integrating the activities already developed by teachers to promote the knowledge of the naturalistic, historical, architectural, etc. beauties enriching the territory of Beigua Park) and with the other subjects involved in information, communication, and environmental education activities (through synergic actions experimented in collaboration with structures belonging to the Regional Center of Environmental Education of Liguria, but also with other subjects, such as MUVITA, COOP Liguria, the Municipalities and Mountain Communities within the boundaries of the protected area). More in general, the activities tend to create a useful network leading to a planning which aims at the training and the education towards environment and sustainability.
