From 2nd to 8th April the mobility in Italy took place.

The participants in the mobility in Italy were part of their students’ committee in their school. Students were selected at the beginning of the school year and they worked closely with their teachers and joined the other members of the committee established the previous year, in order to carry out the project activities at school regarding topic 1.

Students spent 4 days all together in the Olympic Village in Bardonecchia and 2 days at school.

In the evenings cultural activities were organised by all countries in order to show the activities completed at school on the topic theme as well as to introduce their country and offering a taste of typical food and showing traditional dances and games.

Daily evaluation sessions took place to find out students’ opinions.

Most of the time in Bardonecchia was devoted to workshops and intercultural activities managed by Italian leaders:

On Monday 3rd the groups met at school and started integration activities before attending two workshops: one devoted to juggling to improve personal skills and another regarding an initial evaluation about the topic and a team group activity.

In the afternoon the groups moved to the Bardonecchia. Icebreakers and integration activities were proposed to foster integration and to get acquainted. Definition of rules and programme revision were managed by the Italian leaders.

On Tuesday 4th after other icebreakers and integration games students took part in the workshop “The journey” to discover the territory, habits and culture of different countries. Sport activities and flashmob rehearsals followed. Afterwards  students worked in small groups to assess the efficiency of the project on the school system before completing the daily evaluation with their teachers.

On Wed 5th after some integration games the main workshop was “At the supermarket” where students, divided in mixed groups had to buy and sell products taking into account their healthy value. In the afternoon a role game allowed to understand the danger of junk food and unhealthy products.
