    The Civitella-Torricella Institute is in CIVITELLA DEL TRONTO - TERAMO in ABRUZZO in the centre of Italy, less than 200 km from Rome. Our schools are located in five distinct territorial realities, with diversified environmental and cultural characteristics, although they are all included in the “Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga” National Park.

    We are also lucky of being close to the Adriatic Sea. Our Institute includes preschools, primary and secondary schools and our students are from 3 to 14. There are 580 pupils with different social and economic backgrounds. In our educational curricula students occupy a central position at every level, cognitive, affective, relational, bodily, aesthetic, ethical, spiritual and religious. We aim to educate balanced individuals enhancing the uniqueness and the singularity of each pupil and to build their civic consciousness and social sense of responsibility. The last years we have been working on several European Union Granted Projects via the regional authority and the Ministry of Education like Ambienti Digitali, Atelier Creativi

     These projects concerned how to build one’s self-esteem and self-confidence; the diversity acceptance and enhancement; the healthy food and lifestyle and sport; the bullying prevention; the English language

    improvement; the environmental exploration and protection.

    We have been trying to update our teaching methods and strategies as to increase our students enthusiasm, curiosity and motivation. In addition we have been working hard on the implementation of life skills education because we believe that they can help young people to live successfully the transition from childhood to adulthood and to lead a healthy and productive personal and social life. This is our first experience in participating at an Erasmus+ program and we have never been involved in an eTwinning project. We are really interested in participating at this Erasmus+ project because we wish that our students can leave their microcosm, get in touch with different habits, traditions, ways of life, and start thinking as a European citizen. In addition we are sure that this esperience would represent a great chance of personal development. Our school partneship aims are to offer all the participants an important occasion of coming out from one’s shell and opening their minds while comparating one’s lifestyle with those of our European partners; make our students aware they are able of communicating in many different creative ways; stimulate our student’s motivation to learn and cooperate; strenghten our students’ self-esteem;appreciate the diversity; the town community in our students’ growthprocess; improve the English language knowledge and ICT competence of all the participants. In the Erasmus group there are several teachers of Italian, maths, art and English as the coordinator, the headteacher and teachers of maths, science, English and Iatalian and kindergarten who have 4 substitutors in case of any risk.
