Last month, Uliana Kachnova and Angelica Carrillo, our researchers in the TULIP project visited the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS) and A Sud, an Italian organisation working on environmental justice and education, to advance collaboration on a new programme for secondary schools in Rome.
The visit provided an opportunity to exchange expertise and work together on the co-design of activities linking citizen science with environmental and human health.
The planned programme will engage students in exploring the connections between plastic pollution, climate change, and health through practical activities and participatory learning. It aims to strengthen environmental awareness, build confidence in taking action, and encourage pro-environmental behaviours among young people.
By bringing together researchers, local organisations, and schools, TULIP is developing opportunities for students to connect scientific knowledge with the environmental challenges facing their communities.
