Learning comes to life in the outdoors!

With the "Festa dell'Olio" project, children will explore the life cycle of the olive, from cultivation to oil production, living a day immersed in nature.

Harvesting and milling of olives

Participants witness the olive harvest and their transformation into oil through a small machine, experiencing the production process first-hand.

Sensory walks

During walks in the farm, children explore the natural environment using all five senses, discovering the local flora and fauna.

"Bugs-hotel" laboratory

Children learn about the importance of biodiversity and the role of insects in the ecosystem, exploring "bugs-hotels" and understanding how to protect nature.

Traditional snack

The day ends with a tasty snack of bread and oil, or bread, oil and sugar, for a culinary experience from times gone by.

  • Creating moments of direct contact with the rural world.
  • To introduce animals, plants and flowers and their interaction in cultivation.
  • To make known the culture, tradition and work of the farmer.
  • To encourage children to observe nature in detail.
  • Develop curiosity and awareness that nature must be respected.
