With regard to the awareness campaign programmed in the previous session, Today we wrote two letters:

a Headmaster Giancarla Marin to ask permission to engage the classes of the institute to collaborate on the project;

the Mayor of the great Giorgio Talon to present the initiative on awareness campaign.

Rachel aims to promote a collection of plastic bags for re-use in suitable containers in the vicinity of parks, gardens, along the sidewalks of the city center and surroundings, together with signs of awareness. Accompanying the dogs will not take longer any justification to leave behind droppings of your pet.

HOLIDAY CLASSIC

CITIZENSHIP, DEMOCRACY, DIALOGUE, CULTURE, WONDER

Hope is a waking dream

(Aristotle, greek philosopher)

What we did today?

We simulated a day from citizens of Attica.

We read some of the most significant passages of the speech of Pericles to the Athenians.

At every step, We approached the reading of an article of the Italian Constitution or the Convention on the Rights of the Child, finding some affinity.

The maestro Roberto took us into the idea of democracy of Cleisthenes, then the concept of 'Wonder' of Aristotle, feeling that encloses the astonishment and fear,da cui, according to the philosopher, philosophical thought is born.

What we want from this experience?

We would like a day of dialogue between ancient documents, Greece of Pericles, to those of today, national and international – the Italian Constitution and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The story must be a continuous dialogue between the present and the past in order to understand and build the direction of the path to the future.

It was a journey to the roots of democracy, we did discover the ancient and ever new needs to the right of equal social, all’ love for the beautiful, the right of everyone to participate in the political life of the city. Pericles also speaks to us of how to be a citizen : prepared, careful, bearer of good ideas in the public discussion.

With the master Roberto we reflected on the feeling of Wonder as a "spring" that triggers questions e induce alla looking for answers.

This means that every day offers us the opportunity to learn something new and being able to go to bed at night thinking that tomorrow you will be able to always look at things with new eyes.
