Ecowise Italy provides environmental education and other outdoor educational experiences to schools who are looking for interdisciplinary and innovative field trips in beautiful natural landscapes.
Our programs compliment and reinforce school teaching and syllabuses by providing an educational arena in which children relate their classroom learning and knowledge to real processes, structures and ecosystems.
We are based in the north-western Italian region of Piemonte and conduct our programs in its unspoiled nature, making full use of the area’s spectacular terrain and precious ecological biodiversity.
Our field trips provide valuable out of the classroom learning situations designed to stimulate students both physically and intellectually. They allow children to engage their senses and imaginations, to connect with nature at a deep and personal level and to be open and creative in their interactions with each other and the natural world.
Our teaching methodologies involve fun and exciting hands-on activities, exploration, play, group work, story-telling, as well as artistic and creative expression. Students are encouraged to think critically and problem solve, considering scientific principles and methods as well as referring to ideas from other cultural perspectives and theories of knowledge.
A tailored experience that meets your needs providing your group with a state of the art, safe, fun and engaging and educational trip that’s easy to arrange and competitively priced. A guarantee that all trips are fully risk assessed and carefully organised to the highest standards to maximise the group’s health and safety and individuals’ wellbeing and welfare. Risk management is an essential and integral part of our organisational process and trip development criteria.
Create a trip that incorporates your syllabus, curriculum and age specific learning objectives and integrate the experience in to the ongoing school year and relevant projects, academic objectives and exam criteria (specialising in dovetailing the trip with IB curricula). Unique programs that specifically address social issues within the school community, such as bullying, conflict resolution so improving the group’s intrapersonal and interpersonal psychological development.
We provide you with a free file of professional photographs that document your trip and can be passed on to participants and their families, and utilised by your institution for promotional or other purposes. We freely assist you to organise your trip’s logistics including transport, food and accommodation.
We are not a tour operator, but have decades of experience to help guide you to make the right choices when deciding on how to organise your trip, reducing your workload and stress and making it easy to set up a successful and memorable trip.
