GNGTS 2013 - Atti del 32° Convegno Nazionale

We started with just two free summer campuses (maximum 20 students and one week long each) held in Civil protection tents; later on we were able to manage four campuses. The aim is to deepen the contents of the ERiNat project trough experience and encourage children become active part of the Civil Protection system. It is also emphasized environmental and natural landscape as being valuable as such to preserve and protect it. They are designed to make you feel part of the team of the Civil Protection which has its own history, its objectives, its activities. The training contents (Fig. 2) are: • Fire-fighting drills with the Fire Brigade; • Forest fires- fighting (tests off and assistance in exercises with helicopter) with the State Forest Rangers Corps; • The Civil Protection system (visit the places affected by natural disasters); • Rescue activities (climbing with mountain rescue, sea rescue); • Provincial Civil Protection Paths and Tourism (nature trials, excursions); • Knowledge and preservation of local natural advantages (excursions); • Renewable Energy Resources (visit to the plant). The campuses are greatly appreciated by the children and their families both for their didactic and educational value and for their fun and recreational features. An active learning experience: Piovono idee! (Cloudy with a Chance of ideas!)
