****************************************************************************************** Vesuvius and Sustainability From: Flavio Dobran <dobran@xxxxxxxxxxx> ****************************************************************************************** Since 1995 my colleagues and I have been inviting the schools around Vesuvius to participate in annual gatherings to promote a greater consciousness of the volcano. Thousands of students from elementary, middle, and high schools have participated with their works and today many of their presentations rival those of professionals. In the past, we had different experts discussing volcanoes and volcanic risk in the Vesuvius area, educational material, and simply talking to the students and their teachers and encouraging them to become informed and responsible citizens. Some students from these schools will become territorial leaders and our hope is that they will work toward the development of a sustainable territory. This year’s theme of the meeting is “Vesuvius and Sustainability” and will take place on 29 and 30 January at the technical institute Eugenio Pantaleo in Torre del Greco. We encourage open exchange of ideas and invite presentations on the theme of the meeting. If you wish to contribute, please provide me with a title and a short description of the talk by January 22, 2010. Thank you.
