Guided visits

To offer a significant educational approach capable of allowing students to enjoy direct contact with the marine ecosystem and to become responsible participants capable of understanding new ideas and aspects. There are no age limits for environmental education, as it can “last for the whole existence, preparing people for life, and directly and continuously involving all generations in accordance with the concept that we all have something to learn from others” (Charter of the Principles of Environmental Education, Fiuggi 1997).

Knowledge as the ideal tool to protect and love the sea: this is our creed, and it is on the basis of this creed that we organize visits to our aquarium, where every point along its display itineraries offers an opportunity to examine numerous themes in greater detail. The staff of our Educational Department aims to provide schools with full assistance for all themed projects.

This is the principle that underlies our commitment to spread the culture of this amazing environment in an enjoyable and innovative way. Our work is founded on our passion and desire to transmit our emotions, not only to promote the sea, but also to educate and instruct for a correct use of its resourses so to raise awareness on the remarkable importance of this environment.
