Italia (Ottobre 2024)
Martano, Italia, 3-17 ottobre 2024
The third in-person mobility for students and teachers took place in Martano, Italy, hosted by I.I.S.S. "Trinchese." The activities conducted were as follows:
"Discovering Italy and Martano": A group project where Italian students acted as mentors, creating presentations about their country and city and serving as guides for various visits.
"How Decisions Are Made in Our School": This activity involved documenting the similarities and differences in decision-making within student councils of the participating countries.
Creating a Scenario for Role-Playing: Students developed role-playing scenarios to simulate decision-making in the European Parliament. In groups, they formulated questions to be submitted for public consultation within the European Union on the theme of voting—specifically, whether voting should be mandatory. This led to group discussions, a plenary session, and voting on the proposals.
Public Consultation Creation on the "together.eu" Platform: Students created consultation topics on the platform to allow informed citizens to engage and contribute toward reaching the project’s objectives.
Visits to Local Government Institutions: Students observed the democratic decision-making processes at local institutions, including the town halls of Martano and Lecce, and the government of the province. They interacted with officials and highlighted common democratic values and goals.
Visits to Local Associations and Enterprises: The students visited Naturalis in Martano (aloe) and Masseria in Caprarica (olive oil) to understand decision-making in local businesses and their role in the local economy. They also visited youth communities actively involved in the social, economic, and political life of the city, such as the Grico association in Kalimera, and interviewed the traditional music group The Taranters.
Creation of Digital Lessons: Digital lessons were created based on the outcomes of these activities.
Project Presentation for Erasmus Days: A presentation summarizing the project was prepared for a virtual event on Thursday, the 17th, during Erasmus Days, to showcase best practices in decision-making within school communities, local self-management institutions, and youth communities in Italy.
