Rio Mare Supports the 2022 Summer School for Young Climate Shapers
Our Rio Mare brand has supported the organisation of a Summer School on the island of Marettimo, in collaboration with the Egadi Islands Marine Protected Area, and with the participation of our partners WWF Italia and National Geographic explorers. The project is designed to educate participants on environmental protection, sea preservation, and sustainable development policies.
Educating adolescents
Promoting and safeguarding the marine ecosystem are two of Rio Mare’s concrete commitments. That’s why the brand has supported this year’s Marettimo Summer School. It took place from July 10 to July 18 with the patronage of the Egadi Islands Municipality, in collaboration with the Egadi Islands Marine Protected Area and with the participation of National Geographic explorers and our partner WWF Italia. The project is aimed at young climate shapers – adolescents aged 15 to 18 from all over Italy. It is designed to educate participants on environmental protection, sea preservation, and sustainable development policies, through tools that enable them to act responsibly towards the oceans and ecosystems.

An extensive programme
The young students had the opportunity to participate in training sessions led by representatives of the organisations involved. This included a meeting dedicated to Rio Mare’s sustainability path and transformative projects held by Luciano Pirovano, Global Sustainable Development Director for Bolton Food. The programme also included numerous experiences to discover the secrets of the Egadi Islands, such as exploring its caves and seabed in the company of some National Geographic Explorers, visiting the European monk seal observatory, and the turtle recovery centre in Favignana. In addition, the young participants had the opportunity to attend two special lectures held by our partner WWF.
“Raising awareness on sustainable fishing and the protection of the oceans are fundamental elements of Rio Mare’s commitment. This action is carried out through collaborations with important partners and is aimed at all consumers, with a particular focus on young people - the adults of tomorrow,” said Luciano Pirovano, Global Sustainable Development Director Food, during the boot camp.
