Pupils Mobility - Italy (May 2022)


You're right to be green ... our project

“Are you ready? Fasten your seatbelts, we are about to leave.” This year 20 pupils of the second grade classes from our school “P.N.Vaccina” have had the opportunity to participate at Erasmus+ project: the European Union gives all the students of European countries the opportunity to take part to cultural exchanges. This year some students of our school will meet pupils from Polish and Finnish schools. The three schools are involved in a project, entitled “You’re right to be green: eco active-school”, whose goal is protecting environment. As a first step of the project, the school Vaccina is cooperating with “Legaambiente” in national project “NONTISCORDARDIME” operation clean schools that offers itself of clean-up and tidy the school ambients helped by teachers and students. We decided to embellish our school garden. Despite the small spaces, we will insert the benches produced by us, decorated with seedlings realized from us, to give welfare, harmony and quiet to demonstrate that everyone can help the environment where we live and make it a better place. 

We started with the creation of a bench. We used: wooden pallets, screws, sand paper, a meter for carpenters, electric hacksaw and electric manual with struments for our security, for example plexiglass visors and cotton gloves. We had some goals for this creation. First, we choose the wooden pallets for the seat and we cut different pieces. Then, we create the other part of the bench: the backrest and two armrests, using 20 strips. With this we finished the first part of the project, with the creation of a beautiful bench with small and graceful plants. Thanks to this activity we could rediscover the beauty of the small things and appreciate all the simple and beautiful things in nature. Finally, working with our friends, we learnt how nice is being together and how important is the team work.
