Aiming to attract and engage local students with the project targets and works, the Municipality of Águeda foresees, under sub-action D2.2, to define and deploy a set of activities directed at this audience, on periods that do not compromise regular school activities:
-
practical workshops, starting from August 2018, with a bi-monthly basis, having for subjects issues like the use of information technologies to support conservation (e.g. digital photography, video, app programming/use, …) and awareness-raising for river restoration (e.g. through ecological monitoring, ex-situ conservation of flora, …);
-
holiday camps for the young, on a total of 4, embracing about 20 person/camp, with an average duration of 15 days, directed at engaging the young with on-field conservation works through activities like IAS control, replanting of native trees, removal of small obstacles from the river bed, awareness-raising in users of river beaches, among others.
Additionally, the Municipality of Mora foresees that the team from Fluviário de Mora may deploy, under action D2.3, a set of activities that seek awareness-raising of schools and students, through the development and execution of the “River goes to School” program.
In addition to the presentation of the Fluviário offer towards such audience - as a way to attract more visitors to its facilities and exhibition on the project works - the planned activities, amounting to 40 sessions along the whole project, will allow increasing awareness-raising on the project’s targets and goals, among non-local schools.
