On January 22, 2020, he joins the PANGEA Network, a network of individual citizens, public institutions and associations engaged in education and training courses in the care of common goods and nonviolence.

The service learning is a pedagogical proposal that combines Service (citizenship, solidarity actions and volunteering for the community) and Learning (the acquisition of professional, methodological, social and above all didactic skills), so that students can develop their knowledge and skills through a solidarity service to the community.

They are protagonists and integrate learning and service, internalize important values ​​(justice, legality, equality, respect and care for the environment).

It was born with a collaboration between the Federico II degree course in Biology of Naples, the North Area Theater of Piscinola, and a local association, the ODV Noi & Piscinola.

Implementation of a Biodiversity project carried out in the TAN gardens by the Legambiente “La GRU" Circle called “the Butterfly Corridor that goes beyond the gardens and crosses the neighboring neighborhoods through a" corridor “consisting of flower beds, public gardens, green areas of schools , private parks and balconies of private citizens, in which arboreal essences particularly greedy for butterflies, bees and other insects have been planted.

• concrete actions in solidarity with the community;
• skills and competences acquired from the curriculum of studies in Biology;
• linking disciplinary learning to key or citizenship competences;
• internalization of values ​​(justice, legality, equality, respect and care for the environment).

Objectives of the project

• Census of spontaneous plants and species planted in recent years;
• Creation of a seasonal vegetable garden;
• Preparation of a Mediterranean scrub area;
• Implementation of plant species useful for the needs of butterflies in the various phases of their life cycle.

The metaphor of butterflies traveling in conveying beauty is the driving force of project B which aims to convey the culture of beauty, the stimulus to curiosity, correct scientific dissemination, constructive social interaction.

The TAN is also an ideal place for the contamination of musical, theatrical, cinematographic arts etc. and science: in October 2019 Il Concerto per NAnA was staged, an “experiment" of scientific dissemination conveyed through music. A singing festival interspersed with moments of scientific dissemination on the issue of Cancer and leukemia.

Not far from the Theater, a cooperative, Man and Wood, which has been able to innovate its offer of services, creating a 3D printing laboratory, the Scamplab 3D. An agreement was also established with the cooperative and a workshop was held for students of Biology, “Biology in 3D". Two days of theoretical and practical lessons to explore the potential for use in Biology of 3D technology, both in the field of scientific research and as a teaching aid. The aim is to provide students with an overview of the opportunities that this methodology offers also in the field of Biology but also an innovative teaching experiment that has allowed teachers and students to interact, to work in groups and to get to know a reality of excellence in a territory that too often is named only to describe a social degradation, which does exist, but too little (and badly) the effort of many, including third sector bodies, associations, schools and citizens’ committees, made in recent years is highlighted above all to “normalize” a lively and creative neighborhood.
