From the
Editor
The job shadowing activity within the Erasmus+ KA122 project “School&
Sustainability” was the first step of our school amazing Erasmus
adventure, providing a valuable opportunity for growth and
international exchange. The participants (our headmaster, Alessandra
Tallarico, the school chief administrator, Carolina Romano, and three
teachers, Giuseppe Romano, Marisol Mangravita and me) had the
chance to observe innovative teaching methods, deepen their
understanding of sustainability, and strengthen collaboration with the
partener CEIP Narixa in Nerja (Spain). It has been an informal
experience that has developed a great teamwork and useful
cooperation between teachers from different countries.
This magazine aims to gather the contributions of our third year
students who participated in this exciting study trip related to the
various experiences they had during their Erasmus; in appendix, there
are impressions of the 2nd classes students.
Through their words, their images, their emotions we can certainly
appreciate how this opportunity was a fundamental stage in their
educational growth but not only.

Leaders
On February 2nd, 4 teachers (Tiziana Antonelli, Daniela Della Gatta,
Cristina Magliulo, Rita Pernice) and me plus 24 students from the ICS
De Nicola Sasso middle school were the protagonists of a training and
learning path that gave us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in
Spanish culture, to share moments of daily life with foreign peers in an
authentic and stimulating context.
The smiles of our students during their stay in Spain and on our return,
shone brighter than a thousand words and attests the bonds that have
been established between the children of the two nations and of the
horizons that are expanding in our school.
The success of the project is the result of the constant commitment of
the institute in promoting high-value educational projects, supporting
students in their personal and scholastic growth.
The Erasmus experience was not simply an exchange program, but a
bridge to the future, an open door to the world, an opportunity to grow
and become aware and responsible citizens. Satisfied with this
experience, I thank from the bottom of my heart those who have made
all this possible for a school that works and that strongly believes in the
value of sharing.

F
new
rom February 2nd to 9th,
we took part in a study trip
to Nerja, with the goal of
improving our language
knowledge and discovering
things about the city.
Moreover, we had the opportunity to
learn about new cultures and try new
things.
This trip has helped us broaden our
worldview, making us more responsable
and active.
The program included classes at local
schools and trip with our friends.
One of the best experience was when we
went to an elementary school, where we
had the opportunity to practice Spanish
with the children and make new friends.
This allowed us to learn new words but also
to socialize better with the other people.
In conclusion, this experience has had a
significant impact on our personal
growth. It has given us the motivation to
continue studying forcing languages and
take on new experiences that allow us to
explore the world in a deeper way.

visiting
Nerja
By Gabriella Accardo | Claudia Mazza | Gabriella Parlati | Giorgia Sorrentino
Our visit began with journey to the “Cuevas
de Nerja” that makes this city famous with
its prehistoric paintings but to get there we
travelled with the “Cuevas tren”, the tourist
train that connects the city center with the
caves. It is also a sustainable choice as it
takes a scenic route offering an alternative
to buses.
The Balcón de Europa is the beating heart
of Nerja thanks to the views that can be
seen from this point and the street artists
that make everything more magical. First of
all, the promenade that leads here is lined
with palm trees, restaurants. On the balcony
there is a life-size statue of King Alfonso
XII who gave his name to this place.

Burriana Beach is one of the most
popular in Nerja, characterised by its
golden sand and crystal clear waters.
The beach is easily accessible from the
city centre, even on foot.
There are also beach volleyball courts
and climbing equipment.
The promenade has many ice cream
and souvenir shops where you can
enjoy local cuisine and buy gifts that
will satisfy all tastes!

SCIENCE

GRANADA

ON

During our Erasmus experience in Nerja,
Spain, we visited many places but the one we
liked the most was the city of science in
Granada. We left from Nerja to arrive at the
city of Science where we found our guide
Gianluca. Inside the museum we saw the
map of the museum and then we visited the
various areas. The first exhibition was that of
stuffed animals, we liked it a lot because it
was very fascinating to see how they were
stuffed. We visited the area dedicated to
space; it was not very interesting for us
because we were not very interested but it
was done very well. We passed through the
area dedicated to the human body where we
saw the comparison of the heart of a whale
and that of a man!

Then we saw the Titanic exhibition where
there was a reproduction of the majestic ship
and it was beautiful. We entered the
rainforest room where we found many
animal species but especially butterflies that
fascinated us. In our opinion this experience
was constructive, interesting and we had a lot
of fun with our friends.

L’ALHAMBRA:
a wonderful
place
By Beatrice Caccavale | Roberta Verdoliva
The school experience we had in Spain
for the Erasmus project from February
2nd to 9th was very educational. It
allowed us to interact with other students
at our school but above all to get in
touch with other cultures and languages.
The week was full of meetings and visits
held in different locations near the city of
Nerja, but not only.
A particularly interesting place was the
Alhambra of Granada, the greatest
example of art and architecture in
Andalusia, where we could visit the
Nasrid Palaces, a very large complex that
includes several palaces, courtyards,
medine, mosques, Gardens that have left
us speechless for their magnificence.
Every detail of the plaster decorations
and colorful tiles told a fascinating story.
The gardens of the Generalife with their
fountains and vegetation, offered an
atmosphere of peace and harmony.
The visit to the fortress of the Alcazaba was
spectacular: from there you could admire
the entire city of Granada and the Sierra
Nevada mountains. It was spectacular to
look at the majesty of the palace, listen to
the stories that were hidden in the walls of
the palace and appreciate how the Arab
influence has left a deep mark on the art in
the Spanish architecture of Granada.
The stories of the tour guide have
allowed us to bring back to the present
the stories of past centuries, making them
almost come alive in the words that were
told. Everyone showed great interest and
fascination for the stories we have been
told.
The Alhambra is not only a historical site,
but a place that conveys emotions and
wonder to anyone who visits it and we
hope to return one day to visit these
places rich in history and culture.

Frigiliana is a small town near Nerja that
we reached by public buses. It is a
charming white village that with its
cobbled streets symbolizes the icon of
the Costa del Sol. It is known for its
white houses and ceramic tiles that tell
the history of the city. The terraces
represent the viewpoints of the city
where you can admire the mountains, the
sea and the beautiful sunsets!

We were completely satisfied, filled with
emotions. Walking through the historic
center of Frigiliana, discovering and
feeling all these places as our home and
the places that will be forever inside our
minds and hearts.

MALAGA:
A TOUR IN THE SUN
The trip we made in Spain was
fantastic, also because ours was a very
united group. The only boring part was
the check in at the airport.
The food in the hotel was not very
good but outside it was very good.
In the schools we felt welcomed and
the boys/girls were good company, in
fact we still keep in touch with
someone. The cities were all very nice
and also the activities done.
PICASSO
Perhaps the most beautiful activity was
visiting Malaga for a long sunny day.
Picasso was born here in Malaga and we
visited the museum dedicated to this
famous and extraordinary painter.
We also took time to take a walk along
la Malagueta, the wonderful sea
promenade in the Harbour area and to
stroll through the city facsinating alleys
and shopping streets.

We have to say that there was nothing that
we did not like about this trip and it is an
experience that we would repeat infinite
time. Even the teachers who accompanied
us were friendly, nice and understanding.
The worst part?
Getting back to Italy.

Sustainable
in
Costa
del Sol
20

During our "Erasmus" experience, we
had the opportunity to notice some
sustainable choices that the Spanish
have adopted to improve their living
conditions. For example, electric
scooters are often used, the streets
are very clean and there is greater
respect for the highway code. At
first glance we noticed a very wellkept
environment, even the garbage
bins were often emptied.
Even the hotel where we stayed was
very careful to avoid food waste.
All this certainly makes Spain a
sustainable destination, just think of
the wind generators that we saw
during the transport, useful for the
production of renewable energy or
even what is the unsorted collection,
not to mention the cycle paths that
encourage the use of bicycles in
order to reduce pollution due to
smog and improve the air we
breathe.
