Of course, the activities are addressed to all kinds of schools and to organized groups. All the modules can be integrated one with the other, promoting school camps lasting one, two, or more days and guided visits.

Formative goals

• To strengthen people's awareness of the man-environment interaction.
• To create a civic and social responsibility as far as the environmental protection by individuals is concerned.

Educational goals

• To consider environment as a whole, both considering its natural features as well as those created by human beings.
• To establish a connection between the attention for environment, the acquisition of knowledge, the problem-solving ability and the clarification of values.
• To help children identify environmental features and emergencies.
• To underline the complexity of environmental problems and the necessity to develop a civic responsibility as well as the necessary knowledge to solve the above mentioned problems. 

The project Gens - "Il Parco a scuola" offers guided visits, theme visits, shows and didactic meetings at school. To implement the projects the Park avails itself of cooperative associations and local organizations (Borgo dei Cartai, Arte Aniene, Ora et Labora, Ethea, Associazione Culturale l'Elice, Vivere l'Aniente, Astris, Ape Operaia, "Valle Cadevella" Didactic Farm, La Mieleria nel Bosco) assuring the quality of their participation by coordinating and controlling the educational project.
