"School, Earth and Imagination" is an educational experimental project that focuses on geosciences dissemination in kindergarten schools. The main purpose of the project is to bring children of preschool age in contact with geosciences as soon as possible in order to develop an early environmental awareness that can help new young generations to go towards a more eco-friendly approach and lifestyle.
