Presentazione La natura
è per l'uomo di una fonte emozioni feeling is strong. Messi tutti ci heal the fantasticare Osservatore Romano the sun rise or moon to shine in the dark sky surrounded by bright stars that seem to dance around. Other times we are delighted to watch the swallows flying in the blue sky near the bright sunshine, almost game to take each other, or in the evening when flying in groups to seek warmer shelter. Often we were to look at the moonlit sea, a forest with its beautiful autumn colors and the awakening of nature in spring. These and others are still images that stand to lose forever if we try to respect a bit 'more about the environment. All the troubles of humanity should focus on finding new methods and new techniques that allow the progress of man without damaging the natural environment. If you direct the creative capacity of man to search for techniques to conserve the environment could improve the quality of life, give importance to values \u200b\u200bsuch as health, cultural heritage and new forms of tourism. Our aim is to promote critical reflection on the relationship man - environment for civil and environmental engineering education that builds values, attitudes, behavior and change in lifestyle recognizing the complexity of culture.

Methodology
Will be used preferably at a teaching workshop for a school that is not limited to the transmission of knowledge, it becomes a place to work, meaning the laboratory not only as a physical place, but also as a mental conceptual and procedural in which you adopt the method of "real job". The activities are often carried out by small groups of pupils within the group class and between classes to promote the one hand, the personalization of school work allowing each pupil to work at their own pace and abilities, on the other the ability to cooperate (in the group and between groups) for a common goal. This form of educational work responds in particular to basic human needs: - the need to give shape and meaning to personal things - the desire to acquire knowledge in an active and personal - the need to interact and collaborate with others - the focus on an issue or problem - the emergence of a personal attitude of research - a comparison with the real situations, without the filter and the artificial limits of the disciplines. Designing an environment in which students construct their knowledge by working together and using a variety of communication tools and information (the new technological tools in particular) is to create a constructivist learning environment in which to build knowledge by collaborating and cooperating
cooperative learning within the group and between groups, the commitment of pupils / teachers, in pursuit of new skills and knowledge through the sharing of their work will lead to collaborative learning mode characterized by the following elements: - passing the strict separation of roles between teacher / student / a - the teacher becomes a facilitator of learning - passing model of transmission knowledge - knowledge is built together in a "learning community" - the prevalence of cooperation between the parties with respect to the competition - the development of a collective identity, created by the municipality to do.
