2022 EDITION

MONTE DI PROCIDA

Con gli alunni e gli insegnanti dell’Istituto Comprensivo A. Vespucci di Monte di Procida, nell’autunno 2022 abbiamo organizzato tre incontri durante i quali abbiamo costituito un Diario di bordo della classe per documentare, argomentare e registrare tutto ciò che si fa e si scopre durante il progetto, un Diario natura personale per raccogliere le emozioni suscitate dal contatto con il mare e la natura ed esprimere in maniera libera e “segreta” le riflessioni più intime e personali sotto forma di disegno, foto, poesia. Abbiamo in fine costruito la Scatola del Mare: un racconto per reperti della vita sulla spiaggia.

L’attività outdoor si è svolta sulle spiagge di Acquamorta, TorreGaveta e Miniscola ed ha mirato all’esplorazione e all’individuazione della biodiversità degli habitat attraverso la ricerca, la raccolta, lo smistamento e la discussione sul materiale spiaggiato.

Il terzo incontro in classe ha avuto come tema l’inquinamento, in particolare le possibili fonti di inquinamento marino e i danni causati da materiali abbandonati in mare. Un focus ha riguardato gli animali e le piante del mare, le specie endemiche, quelle protette, in pericolo o in via d’estinzione, e, in fine, la Posidonia oceanica.
Nell’evento conclusivo sono stati consegnati gli attestati di partecipazione ed è stata inaugurata la macchina compattatrice delle bottiglie di plastica donata alla scuola.

The final works of the students

PROCIDA

Sull’isola di Procida è continuato il monitoraggio della spiaggia della Lingua adottata dagli studenti, sono inoltre partiti i nuovi progetti che prevedono la realizzazione di sketch di breve durata filmati dai ragazzi per consigliare e diffondere i corretti comportamenti da adottare in spiaggia, e il progetto “Colori di casa nostra” con i più piccoli che ha come obiettivo la scoperta concreta delle possibilità infinite possedute dalla natura del Mediterraneo.

Il progetto prevede l’estrazione, con tecniche semplici, dei pigmenti dalle piante orticole più comuni e una seconda fase in primavera, dove l’estrazione avverrà dai fiori della macchia mediterranea, con tecniche più complesse.

More than two-hundreds kids joined together with their parents in a six days educative session on maritime environment, in some of the most amazing Italian locations (Torre del Lago, Viareggio, Gallipoli).

THE AQCTIVITIES ON THE ISLAND OF PROCIDA

The opening

The 2021 edition, opened in Procida the 22th of April 2021 in parallel with the “Earth Day”, sets in place educational projects and operative procedures for citizens in order to allow them to protect the environment inside a proper institutional framework.

The Eco-Compactor

This year project focused on the importance of recycling and circular economy. Three eco-compactor were placed on the island of Procida that, when plastic is insert inside the device, emits coupons accepted in many different commercial activities present on the ground , included the public transportation service. Notably, on of this device is inside the building of the “Istituto Nautico Caracciolo2 and its utilisation will complete the educational pattern thought by Marevivo’s operator.

“Per l’isola di Procida, Capitale italiana della cultura 2022, l’installazione degli eco-compattatori per il riciclo della plastica rappresenta un valido esempio di come si possa lavorare per migliorare il territorio e rispettare l’ambiente. La collettività, se dotata dei giusti stimoli, può contribuire in modo attivo a migliorare il tasso di intercettazione dei contenitori di plastica e incrementare la raccolta differenziata degli imballaggi, per raggiungere gli ambiziosi obiettivi di riciclo del nostro Paese”

EDUCAZIONE AMBIENTALE A PROCIDA

Progetto "Blue Activities" di Marevivoper 600 studenti dell’isola

The project thought by Marevivo concerns about 600 primary school students on the island of Procida. It entails awareness-raising activities on the issue of the protection of the sea and the value of the conservation of marine species and ecosystems. The task of the children was to “adopt” small common areas (school garden, flowerbed, stretch beach, etc.) to take care of and use them as a study area over time.

An opportunity for young people to know the island, discover its beauties and learn of to protect it.

Exploring and learning

Some classes of the primary and secondary schools of the IC “Capraro” and the first classes of the I.I.S.S.S. “Francesco Caracciolo» are involved in the project. The objective of the session is the discovery and knowledge of their environment, through learning experiences in which they are stimulated to observe, reflect and creatively elaborate what they have learned.

The patronage

The course, which is sponsored by the City of Procida with the unconditional support of The Coca-Cola Foundation, involves students and teachers, led by Marevivo operators. One of the characteristics of the project is to facilitate the meeting with local experts. 

Belonging to the territory

Widespread the culture and knowledge of territory is of fundamental importance to promote a sense of civic belonging that is one of the aims of the project. In particular for Procida and its naturalistic beauties can be the common thread for an extraordinary educational, innovative and exciting path.

Exploring the island resources

Educational session with the students of the I.C. Capraro

The students of the “I.C. “Capraro” started the activities with the study of the coasts of the island, visiting both the sandy and the more discontinuous coasts. The first outings allowed the pupils to collect, according to a standard methodology, different beached material. The material is then studied in depth in the school laboratory.

In the third series of laboratory meetings, the samples collected in previous releases were analyzed to study the marine ecosystems present on the island. The day were supported by educational materials specially created. The outputs are always guided by experts and biologists.

The adopted beach

The experience of the ISS Caracciolo students

The first classes of the I.I.S.S. “Francesco Caracciolo” have “adopted” one of the beaches of the island “La Lingua“. The project foresees that the students periodically carry out precise photographic surveys in order to acquire, through the scientific method of analysis and sampling, data and information along a precise time span. In addition, the commitment to carry out periodic cleaning and creation of information panels, in various languages, that will tell the characteristics of the beach itself and enhance its peculiarities. At the same time, to have a complete view of all the natural elements characterising the beach adopted, students will be guided by Marevivo operators to the knowledge of the geological and plant characteristics present.

To side of the Association once again the Body of Capitaneria di Porto, the Italian Navy, the Protected Marine Area “Kingdom of Neptune” that together with the Zoological Station “A. Dohrn”will guarantee the consolidated collaboration in environmental education and sustainability activities that Marevivo has been carrying out for over 30 years.
