At the stage of Ostia the students of the third class of the school Our Lady of Bethlehem of Marino, among the winners of the cinema contest promoted last year in the field of Acea School of Water Education. Also present Carla Consuelo Fermariello, president of the Commission School of Rome Capital, and Andrea Aliscioni, general manager of Acea Ato 2. “Water is a right and collaboration with Acea is getting stronger and stronger, with a work in close contact and synergy on the water policies of the city of Rome. Our goal is to preserve and protect the water, making available the skills of the school commission to broaden the project to the youngest children”, the words of Fermariello. The Edu Camp is part of the Acea Scuola Educazione Idrica project, extended from this year to primary and secondary schools of the first degree of all Italy. The program has involved so far over 30 thousand students in online activities and more than 2 thousand boys in guided tours to the plants. A digital platform and access to sites managed by the Group thus connect theoretical training and direct experience. “We want to invest not only in infrastructure, but also in the formation of new generations to raise awareness of the importance of water and climate change. The project aims to throw a seed to create a real passion for water and sustainability,” says Aliscioni. Among the initiatives is the national contest “Gocce di innovazione. The use of water in your home of the future”, which invites classes to realize a short film on solutions that can make home management of the resource more efficient: from water saving to reuse and recycling, to smart systems and “net zero water” models. The winning classes are intended as vouchers for teaching material, while the finalists participate in the Edu Camp. After Ostia, the tour will touch altogether eight territories served by the water companies of Acea: Lazio, Aosta Valley, Liguria, Tuscany, Umbria, Campania, Molise and Sicily.
