Workshops on respect for the environment

In order to prolong in the classroom the experience of watching short films at the cinema, four didactic sheets* will be produced for teachers and pre-school teachers (in the 4 and 5 year old sections) with the intention of offering ideas for reworking in the classroom, under different aspects, the viewing of the programme "Io sono Natura", dedicated to the theme of respect for the environment.
The fact sheets contextualise the short films that make up the programme and offer opportunities for in-depth study through didactic activities and reading suggestions.
