Ravenna's details

Here you can read what I wrote about Italy in the Comenius application:
The Italian Institute “San Biagio” is composed of three Primary Schools and a Middle school. Students are from 7 to 14 years of age and they study English, French and Spanish. Our four schools are situated near the centre of our town, Ravenna. The whole area is a treasure chest of art, history and culture of the highest order, with ancient origins. Eight historic buildings are included in the World Heritage List of UNESCO. The cultural offer is varied.
From this European partnership we are willing to realize and expect:
· to enhance a European dimension, co-operating with schools in Europe;

· to enhance the quality of education, teaching and comparing different systems and cultures;

· to embed an International curriculum to share with the new school partners involving all children, teaching staff, parents and governors in planning, organizing and evaluating the project;

· to exchange ideas, curriculum innovation, knowledge of each other's children;
· to improve skills in terms of teamwork, social relations, cooperative learning, planning and undertaking project activities and using ICT;
· to practice foreign languages and increase teachers and students’ motivation toward language learning, also with the support of CLIL approaches.
