Le Scienze della Terra come strumento per l’educazione alla sostenibilità e all’intercultura. Earth Science as a tool for sustainability and intercultural education.

Born from a project between the University of Turin, the Piedmont Region and CRT Foundation, the experience focused on achieving educational paths in partnership with Developing Countries, based on some concepts that characterize Earth Sciences (complexity, interaction, dynamism, fragility, cyclicity), the knowledge of the places where the students live (in particular of the landscape that characterizes them), and resource management (water). The activities involved different communities, in a path in which training strategies, and the continuous interplay between young people of different countries, were instruments to promote not only education for sustainability, but also intercultural education.
