Environmental Info-Day - UNEP MAP Coordinator, Tatjana Hema, meets virtually the students at the high school in Rome

As part of the Pathways for Transversal Competences and Orientation (PTCO), INFO/RAC has promoted the training pathway "A lesson in environmental governance: discovering the actions for the Mediterranean Sea and its coasts" addressed to the students of “Liceo Ginnasio Torquato Tasso” high school in Rome.

From 7 February to 20 April 2023, for a total of about 20 hours of training, the students have had the opportunity to meet representatives of the INFO/RAC Centre to learn more about the role and tasks of some of the main international and national institutions responsible for environmental protection.

The topic of the Barcelona Convention has been discussed, the decision-making mechanisms of the Conference of Parties (COP) negotiations have been illustrated, and the Mediterranean Regional Activity Centres have been presented with particular reference to the activities of the INFO/RAC Centre.

The theoretical lectures have been complemented with workshop activities aimed at stimulating interest in the production of disseminated materials on the main topics covered during the training course.

The students, in collaboration with the INFO/RAC Centre's contact persons, organised an "Environmental Info-Day" at the school and with material produced and presentations made during the workshop activities illustrated what they have learned during the training course.
