The sea source of creativity. A competition for schools

Students and schools clustered by the sea. A large, cultural and sensitive team, in favor of that great resource which is the Mediterranean basin. It is seen that the environmental warnings about the invasion of plastic e on rising temperatures marines are making inroads into government. Little by little. After the initiatives of the Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of Education is also trying to inspire young people to support good practices in defense of marine waters.

For the 2019/2020 school year, the Ministry has announced the competition "La Cittadinanza del Mare". Each school will be able to participate with one maximum of 3 entries accompanied by a technical sheet available on the siteo of MIUR and ship everything by 21 February 2020 a : Ministry of Education, University and Research – Department for the education and training system – Directorate General for Students, Integration and Participation – “La Cittadinanza del Mare” competition – Viale Trastevere 76 A – 00153 Rome. A cultural and trendy competition aimed at primary and secondary school students of the first and second grade, to bring them closer to the knowledge of the marine environment and everything related to it. On the other hand - they tell the MIUR - the competition and the involvement of the schools respects the new Pleasure Boating Code. A tool that in addition to having established the Sea Day for on April 11 provides, in fact, for schools the possibility of promoting training projects on the sea. 

"Aware of the sea and the environment, guardians for the conservation and enhancement of a vital asset for the planet, as well as speakers of a culture of which, historically and traditionally, the sea is the bearer" is the summary of the Ministry which we hope will find the consensus of young people. The schools  can participate with elaboratei of reflection su : how to become a citizen of the sea, the sea as a source of life and driving force for the economy, legality and the sea; the protection of the marine ecosystem, pleasure boating, transport by sea, experiencing the sea in safety, responsible fishing, sailing and water sports. Literary-type papers (articles, essays, stories, poems) can consist of a maximum of 5 folders. The artistic ones can be drawings, posters, photos, collages, made with any tool or technique and of a multimedia type such as videos, songs, podcasts, commercials for a maximum duration of 5 minutes. The work will be judged by a Commission made up of representatives of the Ministry of Education and the Command of the Port Authorities - Coast Guard. The award ceremony will be held on 7 April 2020 on the eve of the summer season which usually stimulates "adult" associations and artists to speak and represent the sea. The Italian seaside places threatened by changes climate and from carelessness they grow relentlessly. The inspiration artistic, poetic, narrative  it is often the other way around In Salerno for three days a stretch of sea has turned black and alarms citizens, associations and authorities. Schools are essential structures in spreading ecological awareness. Appreciation , therefore, for the turning point of the Ministry of Education which from now on , if it has the capacity , can better organize the hundreds of environmental and creative initiatives in the school world. A resource, young people, essential to defeat any form of ideological environmentalism.
