Ethoikos and CSE - Education

School

The Fondazione Ethoikos offers science education to students at secondary school level, mainly focusing on ecology and the environment. Since 2010, Ethoikos collaborates with the local school Scuola Arnolfo di Cambio, engaging students and their teachers in field and laboratory activities. The aim of these activities, based at the Corbaiola Etho-Ecological Field Station, is to familiarise school children with different fields of biology, stimulate their curiosity and taste for exploration, and inspire them to value and respect the environment.
