PALLANZA
THE ROOTS OF THE PROJECTFrom 2001 to 2004 we worked together in a School
Project about traditional celebrations and, while our pupils exchanged information through e-mails, letters and pictures, we started to feel we teachers had a lot
of things to learn and to teach each other
so we decided to enter a new project on school developement,
this project!
THE CORE OF THE PROJECTThe core of our work has been
“Well-being at school”
Because we do believe that
the first step to become good world citizens
is
feeling well with oneselves and one’s friends and learning to accept differences
and to reduce conflicts “at home”
THE FRUITS OF THE PROJECT
Staff awarenesswe have:
started a systematic reflection analysed the ethos in on our own school’s vision our schools and found our own weak and powerful points
shared our findings among us and with partner schools
formulated an up-to-date action plan for our own school
A yoga course for children
Our children have attended a yoga course with a trainer
specialized in working with children from nursery and
primary school
Worries, anger and fear,
go away!
A course on relaxing techniques for the staff
... because you cannot teach what you do not know!!
The course has been attended by a large part of the teachers
Peer massage
Thanks to our partners from Top o’th’ Brow, we have learnt some peer massage techniques and we have spread them out in our schools. In one of them peer massage has been insert in the weekly routine and the pupils appreciate it very much, feeling more friendly and relaxed towards each other.
Rational Emotional Training
We have been working on this area for many years, but this project has helped us to develop further tecniques and new ideas.
Understanding of being world citizens
Relaxed, selfconfident and friendly, our children could easily feel part of a great world plan to build a new and better society. The pupils from the highest classes have been led to think about the real meaning of being world citizens and their final answers have shown they (and we!) are on the right way.
BEING WORLD CITIZENS MEANS
FRIENDSHIP
A GREAT GROUP OF FRIENDS
These years spent working together have created firm bonds of friendship and co-operation among
our schools and have surely contributed to improve us personally and professionally.
So we do hope we will be able to carry them on in another Comenius Project.
Good luck to the new projectand
Thank you very much to everybody
Friendship is the only cement that will keep the World together
