GET READY FOR THE BEACH.. WITH SCIENCE, OF COURSE!

This summer with Guardians of the Coast you have the unique opportunity to learn how to protect Italy’s beaches and coastlines with a Summer School for secondary school teachers lasting 2 hours in total on board Costa Cruises. Together we will explore important concepts of civic education and safeguarding the planet according to the UN 2020-2030 agenda and learn how to use technological tools for monitoring, defending and enhancing our coastlines, to be ready to participate with your school in Guardians of the Coast in September.

The Guardians of the Coast Summer School allows secondary school teachers to imagine real curricula that can be easily incorporated into the teaching of the 2024-25 school year. A unique learning opportunity on scientific, technological and civic education subjects, from artificial intelligence to marine biology, from social responsibility to plastic data.
