The vertical forest-A house for trees-Goal 11 Sustainable cities and communities.

The idea to reproduce on scale Boeri’s creation was born form the will to represent with a visible, practical and involving work for both students and teachers the Goals 7 and 11 of Agenda 2030.

ACTION ON THE VERTICAL FOREST

In the picture you see The Bosco Verticale (the Vertical Forest) in Milan. The towers have a height of around 100 metres and contain more than 900 trees in the terraces of the two towers.The towers were designed by Boeri Studio. The building helps mitigate smog and produce oxygen. At school we worked to reproduce these two towers symbolising the importance of a clean world.

We are realising the different pieces by means of a 3D printer.

Seminar on Goal 3 "GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING"

On the 11th April our students have taken part in a seminar on Goal 3 "GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING" organised by our school in collaboration with  a women association "FIDAPA BPW  ITALY -SECTION OF ENNA". The main theme is  "FOOD AND HEALTH, A SIGHT TO THE PAST FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE" . The issue is  "Empowering women to realize sustainable development goals". Ous students intervened to tell how they have become consciuos of the importance of the issue for the sustainability of the planet and they have talked about all the actions, related to this Goal, realised during these two years of Erasmus project "agenda 2030:that's our challenge" and how the students' sensibility to the theme has developed in the course of these two years thanks to the Erasmus project . I add some  photos of the seminar.

Students' strike to fight climate change

On March 15th was the students' strike to fight climate change. The Italian team is happy to have been working on the sustainability of the planet thanks to this project. We want to sing together a version of the Italian "Bella ciao" turned into a song supporting the fight against the climate change and the request that the governments decide to and for it.

Working on three Global Goals

This morning our students worked on three Global Goals,  Goal 12 Responsible Consumption and Production, Goal 3 Good Health and Well-Being and Goal 4 Quality Education. With the teachers Bono and Maddalena, they prepared a special Spicy Salt made with the organic herbs of our countryside. They learnt how to produce something good and healthy for cooking without use of additives.

Common Action about “Peace”

On the 30th of January we organised the Common Action about “Peace”. It was dedicated to the global Goal 16 of Agenda 2030 “Peace, Justice and Strong institutions” and to Goal 14 “Life below water”.

After a short brainstorming about the word “Peace” and its possible meaning, the students, divided into groups,  guided by the teacher Pina Dell’Aera, Rossella Trovato e Silvia Salerno  were invited to reflect about this concept starting from the article 11 of the Italian Constitution which is the only one which states that “Italy is a Republic that repudiates war”.   Then we saw a  world map with the countries actually at war. We thought about the work of important people who support or have supported peace in their life like Pope Frances who said a big “No to the war” and “the only way to win a war is not to do it” and John Lennon with his legendary song “Imagine”. Other examples were Nadia Murad who has won the Nobel Prize for Peace in 2018, a symbol of a generation of young people who has experienced and fought the horrors of the war; Picasso with his painting “Guernica”; Bertolt Brecht with its poem “The war which is coming” where he shows his trenchantly anti-war views. The last work was an extract of the speech Victor Hugo held at the Peace Congress of Paris in 1849.

The second part of the day was dedicated to the importance of “Water” for us and for our entire Planet. The teacher Lucia Pampallona explained the different kinds of water, white water (acque bianche), waste water (acque reflue), grey water (acque grigie) and sewage (acque nere). She showed the steps to purify water and the way this water can be reused after it and the implementation of grey water or rainwater recycling. She asked all of us to reduce our consumption of water through simple daily acts when we have a shower or we wash our teeth. She talked about the heavy impact on the environment of agricultural methods and pig and cattle farming which need thousands of litres of water every animal. It will become more and more difficult to sustain this rhythm in the future so we all should rethink our food habits in a short time.  Finally, a competition with the application aimed to see which class paid more attention to the activities by means of some questions. The class IV E sala won the prize, the “Degree of Peace and Environmental Sustainability”.

School Day of Non-violence and Peace

Next Wednesday, 30th January, we will have a meeting with our Erasmus students and some other classes to realise our common action about "Peace" . We will invite them to reflect about the concept of peace, starting from the article 11 of the Italian Constitution, going on with contemporary songs and poems written on this subject and concluding with a research about all the Countries are at war nowadays. In the end we will ask them to answer some questions about the subjects treated. The class who will answer better and in the shortest time will receive a "Diploma of Peace"

ECO-AUDIT PROJECT

The eco-audit can be defined as aspects on different concepts (water, electricity, recycling, mobility, consumption, noise ) related to the environment and different countries.
In order to know and reduce the consumption and improvement of the environmental qualities of the world where we live, which was one of the main issues of the project, which was the 2030 agenda, it can also be said that it is a learning technique to raise awareness of the sustainable use of the previous resources.
In this project the students of Spain, Germany, Italy, Greece have worked in the eco-audit making various projects like
We first contacted them through a "Twinspace" forum. To put in common a series of questions which would later help us to make some graphs. Once we put the questions in common, each country answered them and once we had the results we obtained the percentages. Finally we passed everything to different graphics
