Bringing science closer to citizens, stimulating curiosity, and above all, offering young people the tools to develop scientific skills and critical thinking.
This is the goal behind "Scienza in Piazza," the event returning to Olbia on November 18 and 19. For the first time, organized not only by the Olbia chapter, but also by Mathesis Nazionale—with the support of the Sardinia Region and the collaboration of schools, the Municipality, the MIM, the Sardinian Regional School Office, and Geasar, which is hosting the event at the Costa Smeralda Airport—the initiative is part of the process that is transforming the city into a scientific hub, projected toward a technological future.
The event focuses on students and their desire to challenge themselves, transforming the knowledge acquired in class into concrete experiences to share with the community. "It's a challenge for our young people, who grow, work, and teach us so many things," Mayor Settimo Nizzi emphasized, highlighting the importance of initiatives that foster creativity and participation among the younger generations. For Antonietta Carbone , the driving force behind the initiative and president of the Olbia chapter of Mathesis, the goal is to expand the community's scientific knowledge and encourage each student to develop the skills that allow them to approach reality with a critical mind and a fresh perspective.
An educational project that, as recalled by the Councilor for Public Education Sabrina Serra , also represents one of the most beautiful expressions of a school capable of leaving its classrooms and engaging with the local community.
Geasar's support is significant, as it will host the event with a team of professionals. "We welcomed the event because it is fully consistent with our corporate vision, which is focused on environmental sustainability and supporting new generations," explained Mario Garau , Geasar's head of route development and commercial strategy. "The airport community is thus opening up to the local community, offering its spaces and involving young people as much as possible."
