Erasmus+ Traineeship at Environmental Education Center of Vamos

 

The Pedagogical Team of the Environmental Education Center of Vamos had the opportunity to welcome to our Center Daniela Sannino, sent from the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy of the University of Sassari, Sardinia, Italy. Daniela has a Bachelor Degree in Natural Science and a Master's Degree in Land and Environmental Management, Marine Ecology, Zoology and the management of marine ecosystems.

Although we did not have the opportunity of live lessons with kids because of the COVID pandemic, we were able, during her three-months traineeship (from 1st of September till 9th of December), to design and prepare together a new Environmental Education program about the Mediterranean Sea and the Marine Ecosystems, using a lot of digital tools and applications.

We only have publicized a few pieces of this material. We have a lot more to be presented later in January 2021, as our contribution the launch of the UN's Ocean Decade (2021-2030).

Daniela taught us a lot of new things about the Sea and Marine Life and Ecosystems. We were really glad and lucky to have the opportunity to get to know her, learn from her and work together. 

We hope to be able to continue our cooperation with Daniela!

Arrivederci, Daniela!
