A training project in a net of six schools
The ocean has a huge potential as space for exploration and meeting between the living beings, and as a resource for medical, economic, social and ecological activities.
The Mediterranean is an "ancient" sea, a place of great biodiversity and a meeting point for different civilizations, and the Gulf of Naples is an ideal geographical location and "gateway" to the Mediterranean, where our activities find their pedagogical meaning and practical implementation.
