Presented in Venice at Ca’ Corner della Regina – venue of the Fondazione Prada – the “Kindergarten of the Lagoon” project, promoted by the Prada Group in collaboration with UNESCO – IOC (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission) within the framework of SEA BEYOND. The initiative, which will start in September 2022, is dedicated to children in preschool aged between 3 and 6 years – to be carried out together with preschools of the Venetian Municipality – based on the principles of outdoor education: thematic lessons through outdoor experiences, at the end of which kids will be asked to prove what they have learnt by stimulating their creativity, e.g. drawing. Also planned are training courses for teachers, supported by facilitators for the organisation of outdoor activities.
