Learning activities in San Giovanni La Punta, Italy

18th of May – 22nd of May 2015

High School of Arts, Craiova, Romania

We had just arrived from the Erasmus+ Project "Young citizens of Europe - our future. The path of knowing, growing and understanding“ in Sicily. We had a wonderful time there and the most excitanting thing was that we learnt how to unravel in another country, in another family, speaking another language.For us, this project was a great oportunity to learn new things and to make lots of new friends from different cultures !A very important thing was that we learnt by action at every lesson that we had there .

Welcome Ceremony We were greeted with an important

Ceremony where we enjoyed some awesome performances made by the students of the hosting school and by a few students from other countries.

The Ceremony ended with a folk show where we had the oportunity to understand traditions of sicilian people and to see some great traditional dances.

In the same day, all the countries brought some typical food and we tasted everything.

Lessons

Even if we didn’t take only few lessons of the italian school, we learnt interesting things.

We had an italian lesson where we learnt the essentials for a good conversation.

After that, we went to a french class and we learnt new french words from our daily activities. We took a music class where we exersised our voices by singing famous italian songs.

A very interesting lesson was the chemistry one, presented by the finnish team and they tought us how to get plastic from milk.

We participated at a cooking class ,too, from where we learnt some pasta recipes ,which we will definitely try at home!

The water experience It started like a game, as the tourist guide said ,but we finished it discovering our inner water. We searched for the water sounds in

different musical instruments and we simulated the movements of the water,

from the little drop to the furious wave. It was an interesting game, if we can call it

like that.

The visit of Catania

We stayed in San Giovanni La Punta for our week in Italy, so we spent a whole day visiting the wonderful city of Catania. We saw its symbol statue. We visited a beautiful cathedral, where we learnt about Saint Agatha , the patron of Sicily. The most interesting part was that all the information was presented by our Italian peers.

Bellini Museum

We went to the Bellini Museum, which we liked very much because at school we study the history of music and we learnt new things about this wonderful composer.

The fish market The History Museum

We visited Catania’s fish market, where we saw lots of different species of fish.

We found out many interesting things at this institute,which presents the history of Sicily.

Taormina beach

The day we went to the beach was the greatest .We had a fantastic time in Taormina,we tasted special kinds of ice-cream and we swam in the Ionic Sea .In the same day we had the last night party which was an unforgettable one.

The families The families who hosted us are the best.

They really took care of us. We had a great time with them and they invited us all in the summer in Sicily. We thank the families: Schillaci, Rubino and Carastro for hosting and taking care of us like we were their kids.
