"The Effect of Children on Consumption and Sustainable Consumption Training“ - Meeting in Partinico, Italy

From 29th May to 4th June 2016, “IIS ORSO MARIO CORBINO” a vocational High School in Partinico, Italy, welcomed and gave hospitality to colleagues and students from partner schools of Portugal, Romania, Turkey and Croatia.
As the Headmaster of the Italian school said in his welcoming speech “ the project comes from a strong desire to create a partnership with other European schools, but also from the need of many teachers to develop the European dimension in our school and to strengthen the sense of belonging to a larger reality… Europe is a great opportunity for the younger generation, in a genuine process of renewal. Giving the opportunity to the teachers and students of the European schools to meet, work together, know each other is a great contribution for the consolidation of the basis of a great Europe”.
Italy was the second mobility after Croatia. During this meeting all the participants were invited to watch the videos about “sustainable consumption” which had been created and filmed by the students of each school partner. The topics of the drama activities had been decided in the previous meeting in Croatia: Turkey – Shopping Madness, Portugal – Food, Italy – Saving Money and Energy, Romania – Recycling and Reutilization, Croatia –Budget Planning.
The next meeting will be in Romania in March 2017 where the work done by the school partners will be shared: the curriculum for the following school year 2016/17, the survey about consumption and the questionnaire on European consciousness.
