Educational proposals

Participants will be introduced to the concept of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), learning more about their characteristics and importance for marine biodiversity conservation. Through interactive lessons, students will also be able to explore the unique marine ecosystems found within MPAs, such as Posidonia meadows, fascinating coral habitats, and the cetacean populations that inhabit them.

To support the theoretical content, a sensory workshop will be organized, allowing students to have a hands-on and engaging experience, opening their senses to the beauty and fragility of protected marine ecosystems.

Duration: 2 hours

The biological beach walk begins, with a theoretical lecture introducing participants to the concept of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), with a specific focus on surface habitats, such as beaches, coastal dunes and Posidonia meadows. Here, Worldrise experts together with MPA operators will provide insights into the management and conservation activities taking place in the area. Following this, everyone will head to the designated beach to conduct direct observations on the trail of marine-coastal biodiversity.
The locations chosen for the biological beach walk provide a broad overview of conservation challenges and opportunities in several Marine Protected Areas.

Locations: Santa Margherita Ligure, Tor Paterno, Capo Milazzo, Santa Teresa Gallura.

Duration: 2 hours

During the interactive lesson, students will be immersed in compelling stories and visual stimuli, exploring a fascinating and life-rich underwater world and gaining a deep understanding of the historical and socio-cultural context of the area. For the hands-on part, we leave room for creativity, asking pupils to reflect on what impressed them most and share their visions with classmates.

Locations: Golfo Aranci (SS), Santa Teresa Gallura (AMP Capo Testa-Punta Falcone, SS), Capo Milazzo (AMP Capo Milazzo, ME), Salina (ME).

Duration: 2 hours.
