Embedded Files
Padua is a city in the Veneto region, in northern Italy. It is known for Giotto's frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel, erected in 1303-05, and for the great Basilica of San Antonio, dating from the 13th century. The basilica, with its Byzantine-style domes and outstanding works of art, houses the tomb of the saint of the same name. In the old town of Padua there are arcaded streets and elegant cafeterias frequented by students of the University of Padua, founded in 1222.
OBJECTIVES
In this project, the 1st and 2nd year of high school (20 participants) from both countries work in heterogeneous teams with the aim of improving their language skills, transversal skills, learning about European culture and values and, in the specific case of this mobility, working specific themes of Basque and Italian culture: architecture, sculpture, gastronomy, sports, geography, history, music, language, sustainability,... to reach a more exact and in-depth knowledge of the similarities and differences of both countries with the aim of obtaining a greater respect, tolerance and approach to the different realities that make up the European framework.
