Day 5

  • Day 5

    1. The Bank of Time. Time for action 1

    The first thing the students have to do is to acquire this concept: what the bank of time is.

    Early in the morning, Ms. Viviana Locatelli, a teacher of Economy, is with us to explain this new concept in an simple, enjoyable way.

       

       

    "Bank of time is system in which people cooperate with each other since we all have different skills. It is important to not waste any time, since you have the opportunity to help a person every second of the day." 

    "Bank of time is a new system in which there are not involved money. It is about skills and giving help in return."

    "It's the new system of economy in which instead of money you exchange your time."

    2.Bank of time- Time for action 2

    The students discussed the different problems with getting newly arrived included in the society and came up with plenty of ideas of actions they can carry out to improve the inclusion in the society.

          

     

    " Yes we all could be a member of a bank of time because most of us can speak with lots of languages so we can improve someones communication skills."

    "Yes everyone could be a part of the bank of time. For example we have the skill to teach our language."

    "We could be members of a bank of time and we could teach languages, maths and everything we feel comfortable with so that other people could get an education as well"

    "I think all of us can be a part of it. For example some of us can help Young children with drawing, math, also we can sing  for old people and babysit"

     

     

    3. Declaration of intent final document

    On 23rd and 24th, we have worked on the Declaration of Intent. The final document is a collection of 10 articles meat to be spread in our comunities so that people can act and improve their attitude towards people in need, newcommers included.

    Now it is just a word document, a more formal aspect will be given to it. Anyway, its content is what is really important.

    In an official celebration a flash mob held in the garden of our school, we read our important 10 statesments, 4 representatives, 1 for each country, read them aloud in front of more than 1000 students. The Mayor of Paderno Dugnano Mr. Alparone and the Counselor for Education at the City Council Ms. Nava were  with us and shared our intents.

    The students' final comments from Google Questionnaire: 3rd MOBILITY MEETING MONITORING 

     

    Really good experience and very good preformances.
    I have been involved in many activities and i think that one of the most effective one was the comparing and contrasting because thanks to that activity I was able to think deeper and cooperate better with people I did't know before. i thik it was one of the most important goal we have achieved for this project.
    I was involved in a music team and it was really good, it was a great experience and I am so happy that I could be a part of this group.
    I have learned many valuable things. The activities were very useful and involved all of us.
    Really good experience and good preformance.
    I have really enjoyed all the workshops and also the trip to Milan which is amazing and with a beautiful atmosphere. I have made so many new friends from different countries and have also learned lots of new words in italian and spanish. I am glad that I am a part of this project and that I was so lucky to visit beautiful and friendly Italy.
    The workshops was fine, some of then did not have good time organization. The best one was Bank of Time, it was fun. However Czech team did not recieve enough information about study cases, so we did 1 presentation about everything.
    "in their shoes" was the best activity of all activities. Because it was really deep and meningful.
    Some of them were a bit boring
    I am so glad of having this excellent oportunity, with lovely people. Thank you!!1<3
    The week started good when we got to know each other in the team building activities, and made me cooperate with people. Cultural exchange has been done, which made me aware of the difference, but it was no problem since we learned how to cooperate and compromise with eachother in different situations. It has been a pleasure to get to know an italian family
    I ws included in all the activities and I think it was really interesting to see and to cooperate with others, the activities was fun.
    It was amazing experience and I'm glad that I can be here.
    the workshops are very interesting and funny
    it was very interesting
    I think the acrivities helped me in absorbing more information about migration in Europe that I think will be helpful now and in the future as well.
    i'd liked all of them beceuse i all of them we did a very good group work
