The Karst Research Group of Putignano is a section of the CAI of Gioia del Colle regarding speleological research and the study of karst environments and aspects correlated with this phenomenon.
Introduction courses to speleological techniques are organized periodically, on an annual basis, usually in the months between the end of September and mid-November and are aimed at everyone over the age of 15. The students face approximately 20 hours of theoretical lessons, organized in the evening which end with 5 days of excursions and practical lessons organized on weekends.
Through the course, the student knows the underground world and the techniques to be able to move in an environment such as the karst one safely.
The course involves recognition by the CAI with the release of the certificate of passing and the membership card to the Italian Alpine Club.
We also hold specialization courses and speleology instructor courses, of regional and national interest.
Another sector in which the Carsiche Research Group is very present is that of environmental education courses in schools. For the past 11 years, some educational courses have been offered to schools for children and teenagers regarding knowledge of the karst landscape and all the notions related to this particular environment.
