Our day
programs for school children of all ages
are focused on a wide range of topics,
ideas and environmental issues that are
relevant to school syllabuses and
teachers of sciences, arts and the
humanities.
They are designed to be self
contained, comprehensive learning
experiences that do not require any
special pre-trip teaching preparation
and can be appreciated at any time
during the school year.
We conduct our trips in a range of
different natural environments.
Some take place at specific locations
dictated by the program theme, and
others are available at the following
locations:
- The Po hills, 20 km east of Torino
and 100 km south west of Milano.
- Parco Naturale delle Lame del Sesia,
in the Vercelli area, 60 km east of
Torino and 60 km west of Milano.
Upon request we can carry out some of
our programs in alternative locations,
and can tailor-make programs on other
subjects or syllabus themes.

“Outdoor and education
came together perfectly as our classes
experienced a range of purposeful and
exciting trips that were also hugely
entertaining!”.
Mark McGough,
Head Teacher of the Bilingual European
School of Milano |
|
“Your hands-on approach
to teaching and the way in which you
encouraged students to conduct their own
inquiries and investigations made our day
trip memorable… Not only did this exciting
day trip compliment the curriculum I am
teaching in class, but it broadened both
the students and my own knowledge of
ecology”.
M. Schryburt,
year 3 teacher,
Bilingual European School of Milano
