METHODOLOGY
Each activity is designed to place participants in the middle of the experience,
preferring a kind of laboratory didactic, which focused on "doing" and on “acting"
aimed at learning through the emotional and sensory partecipation, exploration,
discovery and play.
To lead didactic activities are made available study and reserch instruments, slides,
microscopes, individual didactic forms for observation and data collection.
There is a strong focus on the principles of active learning, characterized by moments
of practical work and direct experimentation, through which combine the need to acquire
knowledge and then analyze it, interpret it and rebuild it.
In this context of learning:
 you explore, you make assumptions, interpreting results: the "learning to learn"
 knowledge and contents are revalued as indispensable elements to complete a
task
 grows curiosity about the study and learning through awareness of “what you do
and why it is done”

LABORATORIES
For each of the four Salt Pans have been developed 3 thematic laboratories:
 naturalistic - a laboratory dedicated to discover landscape, wildlife and
vegetation aspects that characterize the Salt Pan environment
productive - a laboratory that highlights aspects connected to the history of
salt, to its production and to the traditions associated with this important
resource
artistic - a laboratory which aims at enhancing salt and Salt Pans, each
placed in its unique cultural, handcrafted, artistic context

WORKSHOPS
In range of the project will be organized 4 workshops / training sessions addressed to
teachers of primary and secondary schools, organized at the 4 Salt Pans.
Although the 4 workshops are combined in relation to the specific referential Salt Pan,
they will be characterized by a common organizational set-up:
Duration: 16 hours organized over 2 days, variable in 4 half days up to partecipants
demand.
1st meeting (4 hours)
Naturalistic theme: salt pan ecosystem, landscape,
animal and plants distinctive of an exteme environment.
2nd meeting (4 hours) Productive theme: salt production techniques, salt pan
structure, water circulation and evaporitic cycle phases.
Analysis and considerations about salt production in of salt in
different ages and places.
3rd meeting (4 hours) Hystoric theme: historic, economyc and social knowledge
about importance of salt in history. Visit to salt places.
4th meeting (4 hours) Wine and food theme: typical products related to salt pan and
territory. Productive peculiarities, dietary values ​and
gastronomic memory.
