About EdA-Z

ADVENTURE EXPERIENCE FOR GENERATION Z is a European cooperation project developed within the Interreg Italy–France Maritime Programme.

The project brings together universities, public institutions, local organisations and community stakeholders with the shared objective of creating innovative educational experiences for young people.

EdA-Z promotes sustainable tourism, environmental awareness, social inclusion and intercultural dialogue through activities that combine nature, technology, outdoor education and active participation.

The project explores the relationship between people and coastal environments, encouraging participants to discover natural ecosystems, experience local cultural heritage and develop new skills through experiential learning.

Special attention is devoted to digital tools, collaborative approaches and creative methodologies designed to engage younger generations in dynamic, interactive and meaningful experiences.

All activities are inspired by the principles of sustainability, accessibility, cooperation and innovation and aim to strengthen the connection between young people and the territories in which they live, study and travel.
