A needs analysis shows the need to foster encounters and social interaction to educate people about and promote respect for the environment, exploring the link between the environment and health and stimulating active participation in protecting one’s local area and its growth.

What the project involves

A.I.S.A. Basilicata ODV wants to organise excursions and activities that bring people together by educating them in the protection of the forest and local heritage. Participants will also be involved in sporting initiatives that foster knowledge of the natural territory and its specific flora and fauna, as well as respect for nature by acquiring skills to combat different types of pollution.

Each activity is individually designed for greater accessibility, facilitating the journey and working on each participant's self-esteem and skills development.

Expected Outcomes

  • Discovering the importance of the link between health and the environment
  • Promoting opportunities for social interaction in new environments and situations
  • Improving knowledge of flora and fauna in the area and their preservation
  • The project can be replicated in other areas too

The beneficiaries

The project will involve about 80 people in the various activities among association members, people with disabilities, elderly people, and citizens in general. Each of them will be involved in all phases of the course through planned activities.
