1194 | 211 | GIS for educational purposes: fight against pollution.

The project aims to raise awareness about topics concerning environmental ecologies and relates problems, into primary and secondary school levels in Italy, through speeches (and debates). Approaching this topic in an ascending way, which equals passing through city schools, then going to provinces, and finally to regions, the object of this research aims to raise awareness within school’s students about the sustainability of their own environment. The students can have and use the interactive maps, with the target of mapping all the ecological risk areas. Each of them should approach the issue in question as a future citizen activist of our world; surely the idea of involving them personally in an interactive project, such as that of interactive maps, can only give us good results. The ultimate goal is to organize in a targeted and systematic way collective clean-ups such as those related to the « 2hands.org » project or Legambiente with the « Clean up the world » initiative._x000D_
