Description
The teenagers involved in the "Hydro Podcast & Comics in Piana Rotaliana" initiative transformed technical and scientific concepts into compelling environmental stories in the form of a podcast and a comic book
The project aims to raise awareness of the importance of sustainable water management through the narration of environmental stories by 60 teenagers from the Piana Rotaliana.
Thanks to an integral collaboration between associations and school institutes, environmental agencies of the Autonomous Province of Trento and credit institutions, freelancers, a university and a research centre in the region, the teenagers told the story of the relationship, over time, of a community with its territory and its water resources.
Integrating real events with new elements and fictional characters, this project brings three important water-environmental events in the Piana Rotaliana into the spotlight in the form of a podcast and a comic book:
- YESTERDAY - the flooding of the Adige River, 1965
- TODAY - the establishment and enlargement of the Rupe and Rocchetta biotopes, 1993-2024
- TOMORROW - the possible scenario of a snowless Trentino and an increasingly dry Piana Rotaliana, 2030.
Project realised within the framework of the Piano Giovani di Zona di Lavis 2023-2024 with the support of Fondazione Caritro.
