Our plans came true: we were able to participate in the School Exchange at the Antonio Ugo Comprehensive Institute, Palermo. An amazing experience for our students.
Our trip started in Ares by taking a bus to the airport. Since we had to stop in Barcelona we were able to visit some important places improving our trip to Sicily.
We arrived in Palermo and our experience started right at the moment when our students met the participants from the other schools. We stayed in the same hotel, so it was easy to make contact with them and now there is a very good friendship among them.
We visited the school and participated in the meeting with the educational community and the Vice Mayor of the City sent us his welcome. It was a very good welcome.
The students played a musical performance of music and songs and we were guided by students to the classrooms and laboratories of their school.
We saw the exhibition of the works of art of the Project.
We participated in a creative puppet workshop. It was a very nice experience for our students.
On the other hand we visited the city center: Teatro Massimo, Teatro Pliteams and local craft shops. We visited the old town. We went to Montreal, the Castello della Zisa, the Museo Internazionale delle Marionette “Antonio Pasqualino” (puppet museum) + puppet show
We walked through Piazza Marina, Passeggiata delle Cattive, Foro Italico, Cala. visited the Giuseppe Pitré Ethnographic Museum, and the Santuario di Rosalia
And as Farewell we had dinner for visiting students and teachers.
It was a week full of new experiences for our students!!
