Progetto didattico
We believe in the importance of spreading environmental awareness among the younger generations and in the communicative power of images.
Following the success of the first educational project NEXT GENERATION, funded by the Italian National Commission for UNESCO, the new project NEXT GENERATION 2.0 is now launching, enriched with a new format and new content.
The relationship between climate and the human species, as well as the complex issue of climate change, is well established in the academic and research communities, yet it is still insufficiently perceived by the general public. For this reason, the Macromicro Association believes that schools are the natural place to transmit this knowledge and to promote a culture of sustainability and respect for the environment, with a view to preserving our species.
The project has developed educational materials and proposes a set of didactic and cultural actions by elaborating an innovative training model on climate change that is closely aligned with the school target audience. It promotes and organizes a series of lectures and screenings in Italian schools and universities.
The teachers involved in the NEXT GENERATION 2.0 educational project will conduct both theoretical and practical sessions aimed at raising students’ awareness of climate change and encouraging a greater sense of environmental responsibility.
The Macromicro association can count on the material collected in over 13 years in the framework of the photographic-scientific project “On the Trails of the Glaciers”, which has combined photographic comparisons and scientific research in order to divulge the effects of climate change through the observation of variations in glacial masses over the last 150 years.
The Macromicro Association intends to offer its didactic project free of charge, thanks to public or private funding; it is aimed at primary and secondary schools and universities, proposing an effective and high level transmission of scientific knowledge in the school environment, by offering programmes tailored to the age, geographical area and needs of the institutions.
