November 2004: the project “Navighiamo nei parchi” (Let's surf the parks) is among the finalists in the Global Junior Challenge.

The Award Ceremony takes place in the gilded rooms of Campidoglio City Hall, in the presence of Walter Veltroni, Mayor of the City of Rome and Tullio de Mauro, President of the Digital Youth Consortium.

This project takes its origins from the experience of its author, Paolo Beneventi, in the field of environmental animazione and in use of audio visual and information means with the initiatives of the Coop on consumer education.

The Social Centre Coop of Brescia, since the school year 1997-98 holds environmental education courses for free in the elementary and nursery schools, according with  the Council of the City of  Brescia.

The idea is to bring children of the elementary and nursery schools in the green spaces of their cities as “explorers” and “surveyors” and let them tell their discoveries before the video camera. Then in the classroom they revise the experience in different ways (scientific, narrative, fantastic).

Since the year 2000-2001, to give their contribution to the planned CD ROM, children are involved in the realisation of short multimedia communications with the computer

They use images, voices from the video, record comments at the computer, choose sounds and music, learn to place the “objects” on the multimedia pages and to program the effect of entry and exit of the objects and between the pages. The result is a series of short presentations like video clips realised by the children, to be inserted in the bigger presentation that, collecting the experiences during four years of  90 classes of children meeting environment, at it end is ready in 2003, as a CD ROM titled  Alla scoperta della natura in città (discovering nature in town).

2005-2006. The first video Concittadini Inaspettati is from the work with 22 classes of primary school: macro shots and live voices of the children as commentary. Then other 3 videos are edited, as well as with children of the nursery school, from whose  experience in June 2008 it is edited Scopriamo e raccontiamo la Natura sotto Casa (Let's discover and tell the Nature close to us).
