If you really want to know watch this video: the sound track is a beautiful song of the sixties sung by the Sergio Endrigo. I hope the youngest won't get scared at listening to this remain of the neolithical age...
- It has certainly been a very busy meeting. There were so many things to do together:
first of all we said hello to old friends like the Swedish and the Germans we hadn't seen for some time (especially the Swedish). The Italian Comenius team has already worked with them in two different previous Comenius projects but the other groups still knew each other only through e-mails. And (most important of all!) students have made friends with each other and communicated in English, which was not at all easy for them, except perhaps for the German and Swedish students who are really exceptional at learning foreign languages, we must admit... but the Italians are very good at sign language and are good communicators, in any case, aren't they?
- Then teachers have worked at the detailed plan of the activities and products which will be developed with students at school. One afternoon was devoted to this and everyone took the responsibility of the part of the research which they have to carry out, according to the type of curriculula of their school and their personal competences and skills
- The most pleasant side of the meetings is usually TRIPS! The Italian Comenius crew planned some very exciting trips to beautiful places in Campania which are world famous for their historical and/or environmental values, that is: Amalfi Coast, Caserta Royal Palace and Herculaneum archaeological site.
- Socializing: dinner parties and events at the Italian school have given the Comeniuses the opportunity to get involved into socializing activities. The Italian Comenius crew have also planned two crazy activities:
- Pizza workshop: The Vetrone school chefs have taught the students how to make pizza! Of course, one hour later there was also a pizza party...
- A sticker art performance: All students were kindly invited to look for stickers which were sticked (obvious!) onto a board. The board is being jealously kept at the Galilei school (put in a frame and protected by a plexigas layer) and will remind the teachers, students and inform all future visitors of the fact that the school hosted the Opening Meeting ot the Coemnius WWW WWA project in 2009.
If some of you doesn't know much about Sticker Art, I have just copied from Wikipedia the information which I have glued below:
Sticker art (also known as sticker bombing, slap tagging, and sticker tagging) is a form of street art in which an image or message is publicly displayed using stickers. These stickers may promote a political agenda, comment on a policy or issue, or comprise an avant-garde art campaign. Sticker art is considered a subcategory of postmodern art.
This form of street art allows graffiti tags to instantly be placed anywhere accessible, with a much lower risk of apprehension and less damage to the target surface than is possible with other types of street art.
Many different types of stickers are used to create sticker art. Inexpensively-purchased and free stickers such as "hello my name is" name tags or USPS mailing labels are often used with hand-drawn art. Sticker artists can also easily design and print thousands of stickers at low cost using a commercial printing service or at home with a computer printer and self-adhesive labels.
