The convention between the Navy and the SCS Onlus Children's Museum in Rome "Explora" was signed today in Rome, at the historic library of Palazzo Marina, which provides a collaboration in the field of education and training for visiting children to the museum centered on the importance of the sea for our country.

Specifically, the Marina and the Explora Museum will organize, without any profit, days dedicated to the sea with promotional and demonstration activities inside the Museum and guided visits to Palazzo Marina during the planned “Open Days”.

The Navy, which has always been committed to training its crews, encourages the new generations' desire for learning by intersecting the Explora Museum's founding mission on its own path, a private non-profit structure that does not receive public funding other than calls for proposals in which it participates.

Admiral Agostini, head of the Navy's Public Information and Communication Office, immediately after signing the agreement stated: "This is one of the many examples of the Navy's commitment to spreading maritime culture among the youngest because it is aware of the importance of the sea for the future of Italy as well as for the global one, as also recognized by various scientists and scholars who have indicated the current one as the blue century - the blue century - for the importance that the maritime environment will have for the social and economic development of the planet. "

The signing of this agreement falls at a crucial time of year for the Navy and its institutional training activity: in fact, the call for entries for the First Class of the Naval Academy of Livorno is still open (9 expires February) , Institute of excellent training for future Navy officers.
