๐ฟ ๐ฅ How do younger generations see their territory, today and in the future?
On 15 May 2026, classes 3A and 3B at the primary school of the Istituto Comprensivo Gisellu in Dorgali, Sardinia (Italy), took part in an activity focused on the territory, its changes, and the importance of caring for it.
The activity was conducted by CMCC researcher Alessio Menini and was also designed as a consultation process to better understand childrenโs perceptions of their territory: how they see it today, what changes they notice, what concerns them, and what kind of future they imagine.
Through drawings, words, and moments of discussion, the children reflected on landscape, community, prevention, climate change, and wildfire risk, imagining together a safer, more resilient, and more sustainable future.
The initiative was carried out within the framework of the European projects The HuT Nexus Project, dedicated to wildfire risk prevention and mitigation, and DRYAD Project, which develops Nature-Based Solutions to protect Mediterranean agro-silvo-pastoral ecosystems from the impacts of climate change.
A special thank you to the teachers Paola Fronteddu and Maria Teresa Lei for their support and collaboration.
Listening to younger generations means building new forms of care, awareness, and responsibility for the territory.
