Seventeen heroes described in sixteen portraits; sixteen beautifully illustrated exemplary stories and a single vital message: you are never too small to defend the world. This is the theme faced today by the pupils of the first year of the secondary school of the ICS “Mons. P. Guerriero” of Avella in the meeting with the authors Carola Benedetto and Luciana Ciliento which took place in the auditorium of the Canossian daughters of charity of Avella. After the report of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), a group of experts on climate change, which at the end of 2018 spread the climate emergency, environmental awareness and commitment are increasingly a necessity. This is proved by cases such as that of fifteen Norwegian Greta Thunberg, who after the strike called in the name of the environment was heard in Parliament in Stockholm. In the book “Stories for boys and girls who want to save the world” published by DeAgostini the Hollywood stars Emma Watson and Leonardo DiCaprio, the Nobel Prize Wangari Maathai, the award-winning photographer Sabastião Salgado and the determined Swedish activist Greta Thunberg only apparently seem very different people Between them. On closer inspection, they have something in common: they understood that saving the world is possible, day after day. Since childhood. Their passions have led them to live incredible experiences and to become extraordinary men and women with a very urgent mission: to fight for the protection of the environment. Everyone has made a commitment in their own way, but all have lined up on the front line, with concrete initiatives that have made and will make a difference. The planning actions to expand the educational offer of the Comprensivo di Avella therefore also address the green, welcoming for one of the meetings with the author scheduled for the 2022-23 school year the proposal of the Mondadori of Avella to follow the path of reading offered by the book by DeAgostini. The meeting with the university professor and environmentalist Giovanni De Feo and the meteorologist Vincenzo Capozzi will take place in the same vein, which will take place tomorrow at the Biancardi theater and which will see the same pupils as protagonists.
