Our project "Think globally, eat locally: From Farm to Fork" aims to promote sustainability by educating students on eco-friendly agricultural practices and healthy food consumption. We focus on enhancing student well-being through mindfulness and stress management techniques and by providing hands-on learning experiences in farming and cooking with locally sourced ingredients, we empower students to make informed choices that benefit their health and the environment. This way, cultural exchange and collaboration with other schools are shared and knowledge and effective sustainable practices are carried out, ensuring our students are well-prepared to be responsible participators of the planet. Both countries are so happy and proud working on this project together.
Our students have transformed their digital environmental handbook/E-learning manual and their presentations into an inspiring film that we share with our partner schools in Italy and Sweden. The film is also published on both schools' websites, so that everyone easily can take part and learn more about how we together can contribute to a more sustainable world.
In the film, students show how small, everyday actions can make a big difference to the environment and how learning, creativity and collaboration can create real change for a greener future.
Now we have been on Italian TV!
This is roughly what the feature says:
Erasmus is a student mobility program that allows students to discover studies in another European country. Students at the University of Ascholipician have also participated in this program and had the opportunity to broaden their experiences and knowledge. After the Italian students had their experience in Sweden, they now welcomed Swedish students and some teachers here to Italy, ready to gain new experiences.
The project involves schools collaborating on various activities and discussing important themes such as sustainability and problems related to global warming. This is the reason why we have exchanged our experiences and built a project in which eight Swedish and eight Italian students participate.
We travelled to Malmö in Sweden in May, and then the Swedish students joined us for ten days here, so we could spend a total of three weeks together. An exciting project that also engaged the families who have received the students from Scandinavia. The students quickly found common interests with their peers from the agricultural school, especially around environmental protection.
This experience has been very nice and constructive for our school and the students, especially regarding today's issues, climate change and the need for sustainable development. We learned, among other things, how to plant, cultivate and protect natural resources, as well as the importance of reducing the environmental impact from consumption.
This was thus the most important purpose of this educational cooperation between Italy and Sweden. The students' participation has been amazing and fascinating. The experiences we created together, such as living, selling and working together in the kitchen, have made an impression.
Final question:
"Which school system is better, the Italian or the Swedish?"
“Both!"
