Our partner school is the Liceo Basile
The Scientific High School Ernesto Basile is situated into the suburban area of Brancaccio, Palermo. The area, famous for being a place where people belonging to the Mafia used to live and for the killing of Father Puglisi, who fought against the bosses of Mafia, is very poor with crumbling buildings and no green places. The disadvantaged area has an elevated rate of unemployment, in a context in which the young people and the women are the weakest subjects: for the uneasiness determined by conditions of poverty and, sometimes, of deprivation of his/her own micro-context, for the stereotypes connected to the differences within the choice of studying and the possibilities of finding a job. For these reasons the High School, with its 3 buildings expropriated to some illegal owners, has a very important role. Despite all the difficulties, the teachers and all the staff working here, together with other educative centres of the area such as Maredolce, the Church Padre Puglisi etc. Pupils attending our school come from the nearest villages of Palermo: Belmonte Mezzagno, Misilmeri, Villabate, Bagheria and from the nearest areas of Brancaccio. Most of the pupils who attend the school have never travelled outside Sicily. Our school is, for them, the bridge to the World.
The diary of our stay
Our last Erasmus+ visit is in the air. Today, about seven in the afteernoon the group of our institute arrived to Palermo, full of illusions and a bit nervous because they were going to know personally their colleagues.
At arriving to the airport, they found there students and their families waiting for them. It looks that they started communicating soon and we hope that they will enjoy the experience.
Tomorrow we will have the first activities.
Today started the activities for the group of students and teachers in Palermo.
In the morning they met in the city centre to visit the Town Hall. From there they went to the school where there was a reception with the director of the school.
After lunch they continued with a bit of work, his time to present their work on environmental problems. After that each one left to spend the rest of the day with their families..
Today our representatives in Palermo have realised some interesting visits. In the morning they visited an ecological farm where they could see how are made some products from oil.
The whole group had lunch together and then they visited a cellar.
Although weather was not good, the visits were interesting
Gaur gure ikasleak institutuan egon dira hainbat ekintza egiteko. Txarla bat izan dute olio naturalaren arabera eta azkenik frogatzeko aukera izan dute ikastetxean antolatutako bazkaian non produktu honek protagonismo handia zuen.
Arratsaldean ikasle italiarrek egindako experimentuak ikusi ahal izan dute.
Our representatives are enjoying their last hours in Palermo. Today they were walking around the city, to visit its market, the Cathedral and the Palatine Chapel. After that they had free time.
In order to finish with the activities, they will meet the families at school to have dinner all together and tomorrow early in the morning they will begin their way home.
