ATLANTIDE PROPOSAL AND AIMS

2nd Intermediate Meeting WP4 Didactical labos, presentation of proposal of didactical labos in the saltpans, issues, activities, calendarRef. 2/2009/ Ref. 2/2009 SALTWORKS Nome relatore . Portorose, 14.03.2013

Atlantide proposal provides:

an exemplifying proposal of didactic laboratories about salt pans involved in the Project

an exemplifying proposal of didactic forms a proposal of workshop addressed to teachers

Many objectives of the project, including: raise awareness of the local cultural heritage teach young people to value a local resource encourage interaction between school and social and economic

local factors learn and recognize the local specialties and revalutate them in a

modern key meet and know local businesses related to tradition live the intergenerational encounter with a project on traditions

METHODOLOGY


Each activity is designed to place participants in the middle of the experience, preferring a kind of laboratory didactic, which focused on "doing" and on “acting" aimed at learning through the emotional and sensory partecipation, exploration, discovery and play.

To lead didactic activities are made available study and reserch instruments, slides, microscopes, individual didactic forms for observation and data collection.

There is a strong focus on the principles of active learning, characterized by moments of practical work and direct experimentation, through which combine the need to acquire knowledge and then analyze it, interpret it and rebuild it.In this context of learning:

you explore, you make assumptions, interpreting results: the "learning to learn" knowledge and contents are revalued as indispensable elements to complete a

task grows curiosity about the study and learning through awareness of “what you do

and why it is done”

EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITIES - BIRDWATCHING


EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITIES – DIDACTICS OF “TO DO”


EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITIES – CREATIVE TEACHING LABORATORIES


EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITIES – GUIDED EXCURSIONS IN THE AREA


LABORATORIES


For each of the four Salt Pans have been developed 3 thematic laboratories:

naturalistic - a laboratory dedicated to discover landscape, wildlife and vegetation aspects that characterize the Salt Pan environment

productive - a laboratory that highlights aspects connected to the history of

salt, to its production and to the traditions associated with this important resource

artistic - a laboratory which aims at enhancing salt and Salt Pans, each placed in its unique cultural, handcrafted, artistic context
