Planet Earth in 2012 organized by Geoitalia During the first edition of the Week of the Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) have been engaged for years in projects (Didattica e Divulgazione Scientifica) of the Istituto Nazionale di In the process of building aĬulture of prevention it is very important for the Geoscientists to beĪble to propose innovative projects of scientific teaching, for both Ultimate stakeholder, with the goal of diffusing basic geo-hazard Working in the field of the natural hazards, more and more develop plansĪnd focus energies not only devoted to scientific projects but also toĭisseminate the scientific results within the local population, the Is a powerful resource for risk reduction. Preparedness of people, knowledge on how to. The culture of prevention is accomplished giving responsibleĪnd balanced information and continuous education to the citizens. The necessity of the transition from being exclusively prepared in theįield of the disaster response, to the culture of prevention in tacklingĭisasters.

Some of these initiatives have been organized jointly with other institutions and research institutes, cross-pollinating disciplines. All the activities have the common idea to intrigue, interest and stimulate audiences of all ages. Every year ScienzAperta is an opportunity to open to the public and to share with the community the places where research is performed, through events distributed in different times and places, with scientific exhibitions, hands-on laboratories for kids, meetings and seminars with researchers and guided tours to scientific laboratories. Open Science, is an outreach week conceived and promoted by the Laboratorio Didattica e Divulgazione Scientifica of the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV). Results suggest that science theatre, while relying on creativity and emotional learning has the potential to raise children interest on the process of making science, on natural phenomena and may trigger a positive attitude on natural disasters reduction best practices. Several performances have been reiterated in different context, giving us the opportunity of conducting a preliminary survey with a public of different ages, skills and expectations. We conducted the experience with the help of a theatrical company specialized in shows for children, trying to merge scientific accuracy, entertainment and ethical issues. A not less important task was to encourage a positive attitude towards natural hazards that are here presented as an expression of our planet vitality. The present paper describes an experience of science theatre addressed to children of primary and secondary school, with the main purpose of making them acquainted with a topic, the interior of the Earth, largely underestimated in compulsory school curricula worldwide.
