The first meeting in Italy

From the 25th of February till the 27th February we had our first project meeting in Italy. We were hosted by the Colleti and Stefanini schools. We shared ideas and completed the list of tasks for the future.


We are thankful for the lovely moments provided by the Italian team.

Greetings to the Polish pupils, from Treviso!!

Witamy w Treviso!

Treviso jest małym miastem oddalonym o około 20km od Wenecji. Jest czyste i posiada dużo zieleni i parków w odrόżnieniu od wielu innich miast włoskich, co pozwala młodzieży w wolnym czasie chodzić na spacery lub spotykać się na placach w centrum miasta. Jest ono otoczone starymi murami obronnymi ktόre posiadaja bramy, z ktόrych najsłwynniejsza jest “porta san Tommaso”.

Nasz szkoła nosi imię “Arturo Martini”, znany rzezbiaż włoski. Uczymy się językόw obcych jak angieslki i do wyboru francuski, hiszpanski lub niemiecki. Są organizowane wycieczki do teatrόw, do kin lub do innych włoskich miast, ktόre mogą trwać nawet całymi dniami. Oprόcz tego oglądamy dużo filmόw edukacyjnych albo w klasie albo w aula magna. Po południu sa zajęcia takie jak koszykόwka, siatkόwka i nauka jazdy na motorowerze.

Na swięta Bożego Narodzenia i pod koniec roku szkolnego są organizowane wieczorki poetyckie.

Pozdrawiamy.

Italian middle school: L. Coletti

‘Scuola Media Statale’ in Italian means ‘public lower secondary school’.

It is attended by students between the ages of 11 and 14.
This kind of school has three grades of classes: the first one (11 years old), the second one (12 years old) and the third one (13 years old).

At the end of the third year, the students have to pass an exam to go to the higher secondary school.
Our school is situated on the outskirts of Treviso. It has two buildings. The main one, with the administrative office, is in a district named S.Liberale, the other one, where I’m teaching , is in the S. Bona quarter, within walking distance.

The social context of these quarters is varied, because they are inhabited by an original group of families with economical and social disadvantages, alongside a more recent settling by middle classes families and nowadays also by a large number of migrants from the Balkan peninsula, Latin America, Africa and China.

The percentage of migrants is now between 10% and 15 %.
All students go to school from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. for five days a week (Saturday included) and from 8 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. one day a week. Often our students spend more time at school, in the afternoon, because they choose to do optional activities such as theatre, playing a musical instrument, sport… or, if they are weak in some subjects, they have extra classes.

The subjects taught in our school are: Italian, History, Geography, English, French, Mathematics, Natural Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Ecology…), Technology, Music, Art, Sport, Catholic Religion (or an alternative lesson, depending on the choice of the parents) and Computer Science.

Mathematics and Science are taught by the same teacher for six hours a week.

Coletti school is also a centre of education for adults (mostly non EU).
