Description:
On October 25th 2011 a devastating flood hit the Vara and Magra valleys in Italy
and left an unforgettable scratch in the inhabitants’ minds. Cloudy with a
Chance of ideas! (Piovono idee!) is an active journey of discovery and training on
hydrogeological risk and climate change. Land preservation and safety of people
living on it are issues, which we would like to help citizens get perception about,
in order to instill awareness on the actions that can be taken towards risk mitigation.
Cloudy with a Chance of ideas! stemmed from this belief, and it is the result
of a collaborative planning in which primary and secondary school students, living
within cities heavily hit by the flood, took actively part. Children were helped
by experts and scientists to build an exhibition devoted to hydrogeological risk.
Here interactive workspaces, games and educational laboratories, allow visitors
explore concepts, phenomena and their consequences on land and inhabitants. Issues
are addressed from a daily actions perspective, where everybody might make
the difference towards sustainability and trigger good practices on natural hazards
risk reduction.
