Didactic Proposals School Year 2012/2013

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 features of the natural world and to rediscover that also man and his traditions are part of it.
