From June to the end of July 2024, the EC(h)O-SUMMER CAMPS took place on a large farm in Castelgomberto, situated in Northern Italy. The EC(h)O-SUMMER CAMPS proposed a wide range of activities addressed to educate the audience on sustainability while entertaining.
During the weekdays, fifty-seven participants composed of children and adults had the opportunity to gather together in an eco-sustainable environment, where they learned about the Green Deal and gained knowledge on how to help the planet daily.
Activities included knowledge games and painting. Every Tuesday, the participants visited Oasi dei Lecci to learn about many animals and their habitats, as well as the care of horsese. Workshops with natural colors and drawing sessions helped increase creativity and also awareness towards the environment. Field trips included the Excalibur Route, the Trees Route, and a tour of the Malghe in Cesuna.
Workshops on sustainability were also organized concerning recycling and upcycling, as well as different art activities such as drawing from cardboard and tempera or creating salt dough mandalas with dried beans, emotion masks, and jars with colored salt.
In the last days of the summer camps, a closing activity with all participants, their families, and friends was organized, to disseminate the knowledge that the youngest participants learned through their participation.
