Mobilità Erasmus+ “No more walls…just bridges” Satu Mare – Romania 10 - 16 March 2019

Bari — 2021-06-21T15:00:32Z

The second mobility of the Erasmus+ project "NO MORE WALLS JUST BRIDGES" took place in Romania from 10 to 16 March 2019 at the Sports High School of Satu Mare. The Italian students, together with the French, Belgians, Portuguese and Romanians, were engaged in a series of cultural, sports and musical activities and workshops in accordance with the program provided for in the project. The Romanian delegation made us discover the history and the characteristic buildings of the city of Satu Mare through the visit of the panoramic tower, of the palace where the city administration is located, of some churches of Catholic and Orthodox rite and a city treasure hunt.

We also had the opportunity to learn about the history and cultural traditions of Romania through some guided tours at the Memorial of the Victims of Communism in Sighetu Marmației, which has greatly impressed our students for the suffering that this period has inflicted on the Romanian people, the ancient monastery of Barsana, where a community of cloistered nuns still lives, the Village-museum of Negresti Oas, with its typical medieval buildings, the castle of Carei in Transylvania and the cheerful cemetery at Sapanta, so named for the bright colors and smiling figures that adorn its tombs. The Romanian partner has organized for both students and teachers a series of activities and sports competitions in athletics, football, fencing, kayaking, handball, table tennis and basketball, with teams mixed by gender and nationality. All delegations also participated in workshops and workshops in cooking, mechanics, sewing, crafts and electronics both at the school and at some cultural and professional centers in the city. A series of folkloric and musical initiatives have animated, with dances and ballets of their own tradition, the moments of socialization, involving in turn all the delegations and creating an atmosphere of synergy and cultural exchange that has allowed us to continue to work on the construction of those "bridges" that our Erasmus project aims to create and make more effective.

LAST VIRTUAL MOBILITY “NO MORE WALLS …JUST BRIDGES” ERASMUS PROJECT

The last mobility of the project “No more wall jost bridges” took place online: for three days the partners carried out activities on the enhancement of tangible and intangible artistic heritage of their nations.
It was an original and engaging experience thanks to presentations, videos and workshops that recreated the spirit of the international meetings that we have missed so much because of the pandemic restrictions.
The mobility started on 18 May with some Ice breaking activities such as a kahoot about art played by the students. The questions were taken from the art paddlet created by all the partners.
Successively the students represented with photos, videos and presentation famous artworks by artists from each country. Some of them created copies of the artworks and other reinterpretated and chose them questioning on how digital technology and COVID has changed the perception of some values universally shared.
On 19 May the partners introduced and promoted the monumentes they adopted: Bari chose Masseria Caggiano, a farm which is located in a strategic position along the Lama Balice Regional Park close to the school; Geel presented the Gasthuisfarm, a monument close their school which needs a different new function; Montmorency presented the Collegiale Saint Martin; Satu Mare The Jewish Synagogue and Campo Major the Castle. The students works were enriched with presentations by experts on the subjects.

Bari organised an online cooking show during which students of cooking classes prepared dishes using ancient and traditional ingredients to be found in the Lama Balice; the Belgians presented their typical Belgian fries and songs and ceremonies of Belgian traditional celebrations such as auspicious rites of the beguinning of the year; Montmorency run an online tutorial on how to cornrow hair; Satu Mare presented handmade symbols of March – Martisor and Campo Maior run and arts and craft lab on how to make Portugese traditional paper flower.

HORTUS CONCLUSUS AT SCHOOL

Bari — 2021-06-21T09:11:54Z

In February 2020 our students who participated in the projects planted medicinal herbs in one of the courtyards of the San Paolo building because of the eco-sustainable economy of the school. The herbs will be used in the dishes prepared in the cooking workshops.

The students, together with prof. Vincenzina Vitarella and Lidia Poletto, designed the garden inspired by the cloisters of the ancient medieval monasteries. The courtyard of our school reminded them a covered cloister: a corridor runs all around the garden and connect it to the kitchen.

Despite the COVID lock down and thanks to the commitment of the caretakers of the school, most of the plants survived and the garden can actually provide the kitchens with the necessary herbs.

Third mobility of the Erasmus+ project "No more walls ....just bridges" Paris, 6-12 October 2019

Bari — 2021-06-21T08:40:19Z

The third mobility event of the Erasmus+ project "No more walls ....just bridges" took place in Paris, France, from 6 to 12 October 2019 at the Tourgot Commercial High School.
The main purpose of the project is to demolish the walls that separate the nations and build bridges that instead unite them forever and we can say that it has been fully achieved because we guys have socialized with our foreign peers and, in a short time, were born relationships of affection and friendship that continue even after the end of the mobility.
We Italian students, together with Romanians, Belgians, Portuguese and French, have been involved in various project activities, workshops and cultural tours. The French students have been tutors in visiting museums and characteristic buildings in Paris, also organizing a treasure hunt in the district of Pigalle.
We had the opportunity to visit the Louvre, where we admired many artistic beauties such as the "Mona Lisa", the "Nike of Samothrace", the "Venus of Milo" and many paintings such as the "Freedom that guides the people" and "The raft of the Medusa".
It was exciting to climb the "Eiffel Tower" and admire a breathtaking view from above.
We also visited the "Basilica of the Sacred Heart" in Montmartre.
Interesting was the walk on the "Champes Elisee" to the Arc de Triomphe.
An entire afternoon was dedicated to the "City of Science" with a visit to the Planetarium.
At Montmorency, where the school is located, we were received by the Mayor who led us to the discovery of the Government Palace and its park.
The mobility ended with the production of a TV news in which all the partners made interviews and videos on how the project is lived in each school and with the planting of the "Tree of Friendship" in the school yard.

Bari, Majorana — 2019-06-11T14:07:36Z

IISS "Majorana" hosted in Bari the first meeting of the project from 18th to 24th November 2018.
The partners from France, Belgium, Portugal, Romania arrived on Sunday18th November.
The works started on Monday 19 November at the main building of the school. During the welcome ceremony the partners introduced their schools and countries and played a kahoot game to vote the winner of the logo competition to choose the official logo of the project.
Later the students took part to art workshops about healthy/ junk food and habits: Prof. Mazzarino run a photo- editing workshop where the students created funny creatures mixing animals and vegetables; other students chose to work with prof. Poletto and drew and coloured posters on healthy/ bad food and habits. The students who worked with prof. Vitarella created posters with the collage technique inventing healthy and junk “foodscapes” inhabited by elves and ogres.
Contemporarily the teachers ‘meeting took place in the Palese building. Later the teachers visited the school guided by some Italian colleagues who showed them the facility.
At 13.30 all the participants took a guided tour to the Petruzzelli theatre, a symbol of both Italian musical excellence and architectural beauty. It is the fourth largest theatre in Italy, and the largest private one in Europe. It re-opened in 2009, eighteen years after the fire that destroyed it in 1991.
Then the students took part to an orienteering experience in the city centre organized by their Italian mates. In the meanwhile the Italian teachers guided their foreign colleagues in the labyrinthine alleys of Bari showing them the most famous monuments of the city and speaking about the historical and urban development of the city.

On Tuesday morning, 20th November, the participants visited the famous Castellana caves. They went on a 3 km guided tour to a unique speleological complex formed about 90 million years ago that is one of the most important attractions of Puglia and a natural heritage. It has an inestimable value for Italy.
In the afternoon they visited the UNESCO site of Alberobello and its famous “TRULLI”, limestone dwellings built with a prehistoric technique.
Upon their return at school, students and teachers had a dinner all together.

On Wednesday morning, 21st November, the participants visited a didactic oil mill in Bitonto. There they learnt how to produce organic olive oil. Puglia produces more olive oil than any other Italian region, the oil from the area of Bitonto is famous because it's closer in character to the taste of fresh olives, with a slight almond taste.
The morning ended with the rehearsal for the cooking show.
After the lunch at school, the students completed their art works while their teachers attended another meeting.
The day ended with a dancing dinner in the auditorium of the school where the Italian students and their parents organized a buffet. A DJ set organized by the Italian students lived up the party.

On Thursday 22nd November the group went to Matera, that is a UNESCO place and the European capital of culture 2019.
Matera is the most outstanding, intact example of a troglodyte settlement in the Mediterranean region, perfectly adapted to its terrain and ecosystem. Its settlements illustrate a number of significant stages in human history. People lived for centuries in the caves of which the city is rich, and transformed them in dwellings.
The trip started with a visit to CASA NOHA, which is an example of the residential architecture of the Sassi. It is made of tufa walls and vaulted ceilings were the video “The invisible Sassi is projected. It represents an extraordinary journey through the history of Matera” by Giovanni Carrada. The images tell the visitors the history of the city from its origins to the present day.
The trip continued with a visit to the Roman cathedral and a walk in the ancient alleys where is set an exhibition of surrealistic sculptures of Salvator Dalì, “The Persistence of Opposites”, a museum path showing the main conceptual dualisms of Dali's art. After the walk, the partecipants had a lunch in a typical restaurant located in an ancient oil mill.
In the evening the students went to an Escape Room where they solved puzzles and riddles using clues, hints, and strategy to complete their objectives. It was an enjoyable challenge and an opportunity to improve linguistic and cultural competences and abilities.

On Friday 23rd November there was a Cooking competition and each country prepared its typical dishes. Under the supervision of the cooking teachers, they prepared starters, main dishes and desserts. It was very interesting because the participants realized that some foods are common all over Europe: they prepared dishes matching mussels and potatoes with Apulian and Belgian recipes, several regional variations of stewed meat, an almost universal rice pudding and other tasty dishes. Few things connect us to a country better than local food and few things connect people better than food. Thus the winner, at the end, was…Europe!
The Italian students attending courses for waiters served at lunch the European delicatessen and there was a lot of fun. In the lobby of the restaurant, teachers and students viewed the exhibition of the art works produced in the workshops.
After a free afternoon and some shopping in the city centre, the participants met in a restaurant for a salutation dinner and tasted “panzerotti”, an Apulian domestic poor food whose origins are lost in the mists of time. Those pieces of dough, stuffed with different filling and fried in very hot olive oil, are among the most famous and tasty Apulian specialities and has become a popular street food for tourists and citizens.
On Saturday 6th April the guests departed accompanied by the Italian hosts.
