Positive feedback for the educational activities offered to schools
The didactic activities proposed by the SAV section to the local schools were successfully concluded during the 4 meetings scheduled in March 2018.
The students were able to observe closely how, why and with what results the research activity is carried out when applied to the animal and veterinary sciences.
The day dedicated to the Rodari elementary school in Trieste was particularly intense and satisfying, involving 81 pupils from two third classes, two fourth and one fifth classes, coordinated by dott.ssa Alice Affatati, supported by teachers.
The pupils followed with great interest the explanations and proposed activities summarized in the photos.
