FIRST DAY
In our region, in Italy, we have identified the hydrologycal issue as the most important problem, due to human activities, so we studied in deep this issue, which starts from our mountains, the Alps.
So a team of students and teachers participated in a learning trip to the mountains to have outdoor activities about the effects of climate change on our mountains.
Unfortunaly, for the weather conditions, we had to walk at lower elevations so we visited Lake Como, Varenna and Chiavenna.
A guide from Nepal came with us and he explained the different types of rocks. He also told us what a glacier is and how it formed.
Then we went to the Riserva Naturale Marmitte dei Giganti.
The Park contains many traces of ancient glaciations: ice-polished and striated rock, erosion channels, shafts and potholes and when we reached the top of the mountain we had a picturesque view of the Alps. There was also an experience of mixed-team working. We met new people and did some funny activities together. This was a good opportunity to get to know each other more.
Later we explored the Castle of Vezio on the top of a mountain. There we could speak with a Peregrin Falcon and caught an eye contact with the Eagle Owl. There we also had to do some team work. Our goal was to make a video saying thank you for the project.
After that, we came back to school and that was the end of the first day.
A second team with coordinators, teachers and student ambassadors involved in the eHAND activities have formed international students and teacher's groups with the following distibution of activities:
Group 1 - Organization of TwinSpace (materials, pages and foruns)
Group 2 – Criteria analysis to be applied in an eTwinning label and checking all the activities.
Group 3 - Evaluation of the work made on Moodle and presentation of proposals for future use.
Group 4 - Social networks and media (Facebook, Twitter, school and local newspapers, …)
Group 5 – Evaluation, dissemination and sustainability of the project.
Group 6 - Discussion and draft of the final report.
A third team with Italian students and teachers prepared the rooms in Villa Tittoni and the exhibition rooms
