The first day the visiting groups arrived in Prato at different times. Turkish and Slovak groups arrived the day before. Italian teachers welcomed guests at Hotel Flora. In the evening we had dinner together: it was the time for formal presentations.
17th february 2011
The program included a morning at school. Italian hosts organized for guests a Creativity Laboratory. The main activity was painting. Led by teachers and assistents pupils had to reproduce “The Carnival of Harlequin” by Mirò. At the same time and in both mornings at school a teacher for each country was engaged in talking about the Project, the seven teachers discussed the Observation Form, moreover they prepared the evaluation forms for teachers and pupils, that are Satisfaction Questionnares to be given at the end of the meeting. They discussed the following topics:
- activities which will be done by all members
- the schedules which will be followed by all members
- the objectives that need to be accomplished before the next meeting
- the creation of a Comenius Web page.
We had lunch together. After that we returned to school to watch a DVD about Prato. In the afternoon there was a tour of the most important monuments in the town.
18th february 2011
The program included a music lab: there were played National Imns of each country. Eventhough there were hearing impaired pupils, music was chosen because vibrations can be perceived by pupils with hearing problems.
Painting and music are universal languages; as channels of communication they can overcome all the barriers.
In the afternoon the Comenius group visited the Galleria degli Alberti in Prato, an art gallery of medieval and renaissance art.
Then everyone had freetime.
In the evening a pizza-party was offered by Italian hosts at pizzeria “Don Chisciotte”.
We had lunch outdoors in Piazza della Signoria.
In the evening there was the last dinner, without the Slovak group that had already gone away.
