Event reserved for teachers, educators of all levels in schools from all over Italy
The first online training meeting of the Ocean Schools 2024/2025 accademic year invites teachers of all levels, educators, and cultural mediators to learn about the ecological variety present on our planet, to distinguish urban, marine, and terrestrial biodiversity, and above all to grasp the interconnections of nature.
Gianumberto Accinelli, entomologist, author, science communicator, and teacher, will be speaking.
The inhabitants of an ecosystem are connected to each other by invisible threads. Threads that sometimes break, often with serious consequences. Nature is a very complex system of invisible interactions, and every time an individual interferes with it, it can produce unpredictable effects.
During the meeting, some real stories of disasters and environmental recoveries, both carried out by human beings, will be presented. Through the facts of the past it is possible to understand how ecosystems are composed, consider the importance of biodiversity’s crucial role for the well-being of the planet, and make some considerations about the future.
The video lesson aims to elicit a reflection on the impact of human actions on nature, and how to train our gaze on the world in which we live.
