The "School Project" was back at
Expo on Monday - an Education Ministry initiative in
collaboration with Expo and the Italy Pavilion to promote the
Expo theme "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life".
School Project has offered various student and teacher
contests to create projects that promote healthy and
environmentally-friendly lifestyles through the conscious and
responsible use of resources.
The educational project, which began in December 2013, also
has a didactic activities plan that encourages classes who have
already visited to return to Expo for a second visit, and
reservations can be made online.
Expo said already over one million student tickets have
been sold, and more than 170 universities that have taken part
in the "Universities in Expo" initiative, in which tickets for
university students are just 10 euros.
"We're very satisfied with the success that School Project
has had up to now," said Expo Commissioner Giuseppe Sala.
"With September a new season of participation is starting.
Many institutions have already booked their visit. It's an
important sign and valuable recognition for us," Sala said.
"School participation in Expo represents a success thanks to
work that started far before the opening of Expo," said
Education Minister Stefania Giannini.
"With the start of the new school year, we'll also send out
new dietary guidelines that will bring forward the legacy of
Expo together with the Children's Milan Charter," Giannini said.
