TEACHING CURIOSITY AT SCHOOL –

As we read in La Stampa, it all begins during a science lesson: the teacher Giampiero Monaca, explains the digestive system to his little students at the “Rio Crosio” institute and the little ones, the next day, show up at school with the cassettes and books on the human body found at home. The lesson had therefore aroused their curiosity and the children, voluntarily, had decided to delve deeper into the topic..

THE LESSONS OF MASTER GIAMPIERO MONACA –

It happens that, during the lessons, the teacher first explains the lesson and then everyone discusses the topic togetherIt can also happen that the same subject is studied in different books, those present in the library at the back of the classroom that the children themselves created.

ANTI-WASTE AND SOLIDARITY INITIATIVES –

There is no teacher's desk in the classroom, the chairs are arranged in a circle and pencil cases, pens and books are shared, nothing homework This allows the children to rest and devote themselves to other activities. Every Friday, leftover fruit from the cafeteria is eaten. This also teaches children not to waste food and the importance of a healthy, balanced diet. To avoid waste, four classes at the school have chosen to eat half portions in the cafeteria and donate the remaining portion to the soup kitchen.

And every year, children choose to help a community in difficulty: Last year they contributed to rebuild a children's center in Gaza, while this year they are helping Madagascar..

These are many important initiatives that we hope will soon spread to many other Italian schools.
