The purpose of this project is to make students understand goal 15 of 2030 Agenda, to make biodiversity recognize not only in tropical forests or coral reefs but also in the surrounding environment which is part of our daily experience, to promote respect for Nature and to raise awareness of the risk of biodiversity loss. Here are the activities carried out, in addition to the meetings in the classroom: 1) Cultivation in the school garden of vegetables such as the broad bean of Leonforte, a slow food presidium, and the Sicilian black chickpea; 2) Floristella-Grottacalda Park and Natural Reserve Rossomanno-Grottascura-Bellia excursions to discover biodiversity of the area and visit to Villa Romana del Casale of Piazza Armerina to discover biodiversity represented in the mosaics of 4th century AD; 3) Participation in the photo contest “Barrafranca and its nature” for all classes. The students, who are the protagonists of the event, will exhibit drawings which reflect their insights on the Biodiversity, their traditional knowledge (which is always linked to nature) and the fact that human wellness depends on services provided by natural ecosystems. Furthermore, the students will recite poems and perform plays to raise awareness of Biodiversity in society and promote responsible behaviour.
