Geopark Week: a week to experience the Rocca di Cerere UNESCO Global Geopark with new eyes

Exhibitions, hikes, art and talks to rediscover the value of geology in our present
Every territory has a voice, and the one of the Rocca di Cerere UNESCO Global Geopark tells many stories during Geopark Week—the initiative dedicated to exploring geodiversity and promoting the local cultural and natural heritage.

More than just a series of events, Geopark Week is a collective, widespread, and participatory experience—an invitation to approach the landscape with a more mindful gaze, blending science, art, memory, and sustainability.

What is Geopark Week?
The activities, organized by Si.M.Geo – the Ecomuseum System of the Rocca di Cerere UNESCO Global Geopark, involve local communities, schools, institutions, and visitors in a shared narrative that unites environmental education, culture, and active participation.

During this week, the Rocca di Cerere UNESCO Global Geopark becomes an open-air laboratory brought to life by:
• geological hikes and guided tours
• workshops for children and families
• artistic performances and shows
• talks and conferences with experts
• music festivals and cultural activities
• exhibitions and narrative trails across Geopark sites


An open project between innovation and tradition
Geopark Week is part of an integrated cultural strategy aligned with the vision of the ecomuseum as a widespread, educational, and relational space.
It blends innovation and tradition, engaging institutions, associations, artists, educators, and cultural operators through an inclusive and participatory approach.

Why participate in Geopark Week
Taking part in Geopark Week means rediscovering your land with new eyes, but also:
• supporting the enhancement of Sicily’s inland areas
• promoting a culture of sustainability and biodiversity
• joining a vibrant network of relationships, stories, places, and people
• contributing to the creation of a conscious and shared territorial identity

A Geopark that educates, inspires, connects
Geopark Week is much more than a calendar of events: it’s an invitation to pause, listen, and understand.
It’s a chance to immerse yourself in a changing landscape that, in turn, changes you—to experience the Rocca di Cerere UNESCO Global Geopark with deeper awareness, curiosity, and a sense of belonging.
