Meeting with the expert and discussion about importance of sustainability and its impact - Italy

On April 3rd, there was the first meeting with expert during the campaign in Italy. The workshop took place at the secondary school of Minturno and 11 pupils took part.
For the next 4 workshops we changed the institute so we had to start with several getting to know each other activities to build-up the group. After the group building activities we stepped to the presentation of the campaign. Through visual facilitation and showing some photos from the previous workshops, we explained what was already done.
We used the material produced in the previous workshop to define sustainability. After a round of questions we stepped into the topic involving the expert Mario. Mario is part of a national Italian organization called "Fare Verde" and he explained some sustainable practices using a power point presentation.
We passed from "on tap" soap to washable diapers, from examples of energy reduction in our daily life to ways of using less water during one day. Pic_9_Italy

Participants had a lot of questions, mainly about products. There was a very interesting discussion about the "first personal step: your ideas for sustainability". Participants were very interested in the topic but they confessed that it will be very difficult for them as "children" to act in a sustainable way, mainly for the choice of the products to buy. A huge gap coming out from this meeting with the expert have been the influence and the resistances that participants will have to face when implementing sustainable choices within their everyday social environment (family, school, gym, etc.).
After this huge and very important discussion it was time to cut the brain activity and to step into nature with senses. We experimented nature by touching it being blind. We discovered some other important meaning of respecting our planet and its creatures by being "less heavy" for them. We have only one planet and we have to take care of it!
