Our mission is to help children and young people discover the connection between humans, animals, and the environment, the cycles of the seasons and the rhythms of nature, the value of biodiversity and sustainability, the importance of respecting and caring for animals and plants, and the richness of Tuscany’s agricultural tradition, presented in an interactive way.
A Palagina ti aspettano percorsi tematici di circa un’ora e mezza, ideali per scuole, famiglie e gruppi. Potrai diventare Fattore per un giorno, scoprendo e accudendo gli animali della fattoria, oppure vivere il bosco con attività come Esploratori dai cinque sensi e Intrepidi nel bosco. Con Giardinieri di profumi e Contadini dell’orto imparerai a coltivare piante aromatiche e ortaggi, mentre con Apicoltori per un giorno entrerai nel mondo delle api con osservazioni e degustazioni di miele. Gli amanti del vino potranno seguire il percorso dell’uva in Enologi in vigna, e per le giornate di pioggia c’è Esperti della natura, con laboratori creativi e materiali naturali.
