CASCADE Interreg Project

On 19th May, test the skills of your students in the field of Mediterranean marine ecosystem with ‘CASCADE Scientific Game’, an online game for students (age between 10 and 14 years) coming from Croatian and Italian schools, developed within CASCADE Interreg project.

The CASCADE project is financed by Cooperation Program Interreg V-A Italia-Croazia 2014/2020 and aims to the protection and the recovery of biodiversity in the marine and coastal environments both in Italy and Croatia. The project activities were addressed to the definition of extreme events effects on marine ecosystems, the development of both methodologies and restoration actions based on the scientific evidences, the monitoring systems development and improvement, the monitoring data access through an information system, the implementation of pilot actions tended to both the restoration and the improvement of integrated management systems. More information about the CASCADE project is available on the website: https://www.italy-croatia.eu/web/cascade.

Playing 'CASCADE Scientific Game', students will learn more about biodiversity as a key element of the marine ecosystems, engaging the foundations of the 'deductive thinking' and 'logical reasoning' necessary not only for science, but also for their future life as young students. ‘CASCADE Scientific Game’ is an innovative effort to motivate students by replicating the excitement of scientific research applied to address a major ecological challenge about inland, coastal and marine ecosystems.
