Those whales have been produced during a Balena Project show in Florence, at the Museo Marino Marini (2008) and  in Trento, at Galleria Civica (2010) thanks to the educational supervisors of the two museums who had primary school children make around 600 whales out of clay in Florence and 250 in Trento during a series of workshops.

The project presented here was first implemented in the spaces of Assab One, Milan, in July 2009. On this occasion, the various aspects of the implementation process (the game-learning one, the pedagogical features, etc.) were refined and an assessment was made of the adaptability of the project in terms of space, the current needs of the supervisors, and the “focus” that can be given to the whole project (understanding science, preserving the environment, etc.).
