Having the first experiences of citizenship means to discover the other
people, and to give more and more importance to the others and their
needs; understanding more and more the need for shared rules.
With these objectives in our minds, we observed children and we noticed a
clear desire for staying outdoor, strong initiative and need to stay in group.
Since some children were able to bicycle without training wheels, we
decided to make the expert children teach the non-expert ones; after that –
if the children were interested – we could try some adventures by bike
with raising difficulties.
In order to enact this ambitious project, we asked to CAI (Club Alpino
Italiano – Italian Mountains Club) for collaboration. Among their goals, CAI
has the objective to help young people in their human growth, proposing
the mountains environment as a place where to live learning experiences
joyfully. CAI wants to educate young people to a frame of mind that
considers the harmonious co-living of man and the environment essential.
