As part of the PoLaRecCE project, UniBo carried out on the 2nd December 2025 a series of educational activities dedicated to soil. These activities involved around 90 children and several teachers from the ‘La Giostra’ nursery school and the ‘G. Marconi’ primary school in Castenaso.
Through simple explanations and practical experiments, the children learnt about the components of soil, the main sources of pollution and why it is important to maintain healthy soil. Activities included creating their own soil and conducting water filtration tests, demonstrating how different types of soil react differently to pollution and how certain soil characteristics can influence the spread or retention of pollutants.
Such initiatives form part of PoLaRecCE’s commitment to promoting soil awareness and cultivating environmental consciousness from an early age
