AUSL Pavullo in frignano Foreword.
Parents Committee, from the first meeting of this school year, have externalized their concerns about the dangers present and future, could affect the social life of our children, such as alcoholism, smoking, drugs and others.
Given that each year the AUSL Pavullo organizes meetings with secondary school children concerning these issues than even the emotions and sexuality, it seemed appropriate to develop a project that would include a partnership between us and them.
From the first contact with the local health was born the idea, very interesting, to bring forward the concept of "knowing how to say no," that is to develop and strengthen in our students the ability to reject and refuse all situations of danger Over the years might encounter; think alcohol, drugs, smoking, etc..
At this point it was asked what could be the key to positively engage students in this project by filling in the curriculum of all three years, also highlighting the peculiarities of individual subjects.
The project idea was born of a project that is linked to creativity.
Each school subject, from mathematics to anthology, from music to art, from English to French, from a technical history, etc.. includes within it a strong creative potential that could lead to the development of an interesting project.
Think of a painting, a piece of music, a text to the music maybe in a foreign language, a poem, a story, etc..
order to involve every class could assess the availability of teachers to pursue during the year a project and decide that the possible structure.
The aim is to achieve by the end of a creative outcome in which the children of a single class can be recognized and that expresses the concepts and issues chosen.
The City of Pavullo, in the person of Deputy Mayor Stefan Cargioli was delighted by the project, so as to give us the opportunity to show a year-end of the most interesting work in the Palazzo Ducale.
Moreover, it was also thought to the creation of a catalog containing all the works, and possibly a music CD with songs performed by our guys.
The professors who will guide the individual projects will be absolutely and involved both in the presentation of the exhibition in the catalogs.
The show could have a good success and would be an interesting reflection of the mentality and thinking of our children and would give a positive and creative environment of middle schools, but too often described as difficult and problematic.
The Implementation Committee is aware that providing an exciting and challenging project so now half the academic year would be complicated and could lead to interesting results.
We recognize, however, available to discuss the structure with the Board of Teachers, with the Municipality and the Local Health Pavullo to set up an interesting project even from the school year 2010/2011.
If, however, that the project will affect only some teachers, the AUSL Pavullo carries out some projects in which one might add, such as the 'Alcoologico April. In this case you might think of a more "light" and less challenging to discuss with local health managers.
