The legislation regarding the programs of Italian school on the topic of climate change is very deficient. This project is intended to be a didactic tool to deal with this subject - especially with regard to its effects on glaciers - using a specific methodology. Only recently climate change has been mentioned in the programs for the High School (DPR 89, 2010), but no precise indications are given for contents, time and extent in the scheduling, even though a higher level of integration between subjects and topics is aimed for. The aim of this research is to investigate how an innovative approach, which puts in contact research and schools, may allow to improve the knowledge about climate change and glaciers, especially for students living in alpine areas. The experimentation, which is part of a PhD project, will also allow to produce didactic materials and a questionnaire aimed at increasing awareness on climate among students in Italian schools
