The project dedicated to sustainability and environmental protection.
Tobies Friends is a project co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union dedicated to children and created with the aim of offering them storytelling products about nature, but also experiences of interaction and socialization.
T
The activities of the Tobies Friends project include:
highlighting the wonders of woods and forests;
conveying, educating and providing the tools to understand the importance of trees;
acting through planting and maintenance activities in natural areas.
To achieve these important objectives, all European project partners join forces in a stimulating combination and sharing of good practices both in the field of education and in the field of sustainable development and environmental protection.
Project partners:
TANT MIEUX PROD (France) – coordinator;
Explora, the Children’s Museum of Rome (Italy);
Drustvo Jasa (Slovenia).
The project envisages the production of audiovisual material to raise public awareness in favour of a responsible approach to nature.
In particular, a TV series dedicated to the climate, the environment and ecology will be produced, with reflections on the economy as Europe’s current priorities.
The Tobies Friend series is an eco-fiction about Tobie Lolness, the protagonist of a fictional story who lives in a microcosm populated by elves, fairies and gnomes, apprehensive about the fate of an environment threatened by pollution and climate change.
The special feature of all audiovisual products is the focus in the production phase on alternative and more sustainable approaches, with the future of the Planet and audiences in all countries in mind. Tobies Friends will not only provide its audience with food for thought, but will also help facilitate the transition to active participation of European families.
Explora contributes to the project through the creation and concrete implementation of different proposals such as:
the creation and realization of four workshops about the seasons;
the realization of four indoor and outdoor activities about the environment;
the setting up of a temporary exhibition about trees, forests and the environment reaching the general public.
Project duration: 48 months

On September 28th, 2018, the Explora Museum will celebrate the European Researchers’ Night, featuring I do not waste, to find out how to reduce food waste, an event promoted for the 13th edition of the European Researchers’ Night organised by Frascati Scienza, dedicated to the BE a citizEn Scientist: la scienza è partecipata (BEES) project.
Admission to the Museum is free for timed visits at 07:30 pm and 09:15 pm, with workshops to be booked and free-admission activities: I do not waste wants to make children and families aware of the food waste issue with the help of Researchers and Scientists who will present activities and workshops created for all age groups.
Together with CREA, a research centre for food and nutrition, and CAR SpA, a food and agriculture centre of Rome, the I do not waste event is meant to highlight how strong the link between environment and food is and how Science, Research and Technology can help us reduce food waste.
On schedule:

By Mauro Uniformi, an agronomist at Agribioeco Laboratori Riuniti.
FOODCONS Food Consumption Data Base Free-of-charge kiosk for adults.
Supported by CREA researchers, the activity helps adults learn about health and disease prevention, food education and sustainability by providing data on the impact that our food choices have on the environment. Foodcons is a software created by CREA that provides data trends and analytics on “Food Consumption”. By Marika Ferrari, a biologist researcher, and Umberto Scognamiglio, a researcher at CREA alimenti e nutrizione.
The European Researchers’ Night, organised by Frascati Scienza, is a great event that brings science in the streets, among citizen, young people and students. This project is supported by the European Commission (GA No. 818728).
