BARD. Water as a resource seen and described by school pupils in dozens of group works in an original and effective way. The 1C class of Media Carlo Viola of Pont Saint Martin was awarded at the Earth Days promoted on 22 and 23 April by Forte di Bard, with a colorful special edition of the Sentinella del Canavese baptized for the occasion “La Sentinella azzurra”, entirely dedicated to the precious blue gold.
The full-page title is an appeal that invites reflection: “Beauty, resource and life, let’s protect water”. A motto shared by the over 800 students who animated the 2024 edition of the event.
The days saw a succession of workshops, shows and animations and were also an opportunity for the classes to visit the exhibition projects dedicated to the environment and climate challenges promoted by Forte: the new edition of the photographic exhibition Wildlife Photographer of the Years and the project on the impacts of the changing climate promoted with Agence France-Presse, There is no more time, which will continue throughout the spring.
The students attended an appreciated show created for the occasion by Leo Scienza, a cultural association from Bologna and were involved in the educational workshops created in collaboration with Cva, Staedtler, partner of the event, and by the students of the Electronics and Electrotechnics high school of the ISILTP of Verrès.
