A14 - Cleaning Trip, 25.03.2017

 

During the project, our school has contacted and worked with the nonprofitAssociazione Di Volontariato “EKOS CLUB” in charge of the reclamation, restoration, and management of the island Lazzaretto Nuovo.

In November 2015, a visit to the island was organized to show our guest teachers the site as an example of recycling and reusing of an area, its buildings and building materials over the centuries.

In spring and autumn 2016 a group of students visited the island and prepared a research on its history, which eventually has become a video documentary.

Ekos Club was happy to have grade 1D over on a cleaning trip last March. The students were astonished at the amount of rubbish that can hide in a lagoon island which looks clean and well kept. The working morning was followed by a simple lunch together prepared on a site.
