Green economy and environmental awareness in school programs. The A.P.P. VER. Project

      Аннотация: Green economy represents the focus of this work, as it is currently growing stronger and permeating different sectors of industry, production and services. However, it does not just refer to economic sectors: the green transition runs throughout society and environment as well and it constitutes a whole new progressive model heading to the concept of sustainable development. This work was inspired by an internship at ‘Citt? Metropolitana di Torino’, which is promoting a new European project called ‘A.P.P. VER. – Apprendere per Produrre Verde’. This context constituted the opportunity to enter the green world, as the A.P.P. VER. project is moving through different sectors, as industries and school education. The aim of the project is to modify educational schedules towards a green perspective, to ease students during their school-work alternation sessions and to raise environmental awareness not only inside schools, but also throughout all the territory in which they operate, in order to increase public participation and action in favor of the environment.
