Paola Catapano of Polarquest continues her tour of events across Italy, presenting Ottantesimo Parallelo, the book chronicling the adventurous Polarquest2018 expedition. This time, she returned to her homeland, in Puglia.
Between events, Paola spoke about science, exploration, and environmental conservation, engaging the beating heart of society: young people! In the Capitanata region of Puglia, she was hosted by the ITET Blaise Pascal Institute in Foggia during the “Persona Ambiente” event, aimed at raising awareness of environmental education.
Her book Ottantesimo Parallelo and the results of the Polarquest2018 expedition, including the microplastics study, not only inspired the students but also motivated them to take positive action for the planet.
