World bee day
Hey! Did you know that bees dance to make honey? Amazing! Indeed, the 20th of May the world decided to celebrate these very important and small creatures. So did the RIS Eco Council! The celebrations were very active and even if we had to develop them digitally, we managed to spread the message to each student perfectly.
On the occasion of the event, the Eco Council organized a variety of activities for our students during the assembly, such as a house competition and the lecture with Dr. Franco Ferroni, the Head of Agriculture and Biodiversity of WWF Italy, and the expert Dr. Alberto Zilli curator of the Lepidoptera collection from the Natural History Museum London. The lecture focused on the big importance that biodiversity plays in our lives and the relevance of the bees and insect pollinators.
