Exploring the Sea

The Punta Verde on site NGO, an association that is active in the field of environmental education and the conservation of the environment and endangered species, is offering environmental education activities at the beach establishments in Lignano Riviera, Pineta and Sabbiadoro for the ninth year running, in collaboration with the Spiaggia Viva Consortium and Punta Verde Zoo Park.

The environmental education activities at the “mini-clubs” found close to the beach establishments aims to make the participants aware of the abundance of the oceans and seas, the Adriatic especially, but also of its fragility and the need to protect it.

Games and entertainment will be used to lead your children in their discovery of this environment and to recommend some small, daily acts that can be done to preserve it.

The activities are free and aimed at children between 6 and 12 and will not be held if it rains or there is bad weather.

3 activities are planned, each with a theme that will be taught independently from the others and they will be offered in rotation.

The individual activities aim to strengthen the children’s powers of observation and to enrich their understanding of the marine eco-system and the biodiversity that characterises it in particular. The games and entertainment will be sources of reflection on the exceptional resource that the marine environment represents, as well as tools for familiarising them with it, and they will attempt to encourage them to act correctly.

Different teaching tools will be used every time we meet: drawings, cards, the handling of natural materials, experiments and role-playing. What’s more, for every activity the children will create small items that relate to the activity carried out, which they will be able to keep as a souvenir of the day.
