Summing up the project by the Italian team

Here is the summary of this year activities compiled by the students of IC Diotti school from Casalmaggiore. Because of the situation in they region they didn’t take part in mobilities but that does not mean they didn’t work hard trying to:

  • implement healthy habits
  • learn how to manage anxiety
  • develop connecting to others emotionally, being proactive, communicating effectively,
  • overmaster goal setting and working towards them
  • improve speaking skills outside the class by encouraging communication with foreign friends
  • build group cohesion by facing tasks that need researching online or in class, taking action or making common decisions

Let me do it!

To get prepared for functioning in the society and be accepted children should know their roles, rights and a scope of responsibilities. Responsibility generates maturity and increases self-esteem, as the children recognize that they become capable. The sooner they understand their rights and their ability to take responsibility for their actions and behaviour the better, although it is individual based. Teens can provide emotional and practical support to their family and friends and, in this way, build their sense of importance, self-esteem and well-being. To understand how to achieve autonomy and gain social skills, the teens prepared short recordings about how they contribute to their households and how they develop their sense of independence. They were all collected in one digital poster.

Legality Day

In today’s social environment schools should building awareness and opportunities for civic awareness and action and students should learn the value of civic participation. Giving students some grounds of civic education we teach them how to work within a system. They are also taught prioritization of social values, constraints of the state laws and rules of true democracy. People can thrive and achieve their objectives only in societies where their rights are respected, and the rules established are obeyed. Students from IC  Diotti in Casalmaggiore dealth with the most  serious fears about the condition of our society: widespread dishonesty, lack of solidarity and empathy, a lost sense of community, carelessness about the weaker. Being aware of the risks helped them  face the reality and do whatever it takes to straighten things up.They worked together on the script for a special episode on legality, which was recorded in order to celebrate the National Day in Memory and they presented topics related to legality and presented it on stage on the last day of school year. https://padlet.com/marinabonfatti010/lt20l05jpukwwn75?fbclid=IwAR2VV79Ta0o6WJNoHJs0M_z60fzWcKCqOTIXVDnClaEt49bK40Eg2ALTuv0
