First the German students attend lessons according to their hosts’ timetable then from
10.10 to 13.10 the Comenius Project meeting was held at LGS “Augusto” multimedia room.
During the proceedings of the Comenius project various issues related to the project were discussed. Class IV H presented the results of investigations conducted by the students about the environment and sustainable development. The conference offered an opportunity to see that the sensitivity to the issue of sustainability is spreading within our school even beyond the circle of the project working group.
The students then presented the results of the questionnaire submitted to LGSA and CZO students in February. The German students elaborated and commented on the data gathered with the questionnaire already submitted last year and they also added a summary report of data collected in February. The Italian students presented a detailed report on data from the February questionnaire, which are particularly interesting since they concern the whole population of our school. Finally data from students compared/contrasted the data obtained from 2007 and 2008 questionnaire.
In the third section the Italian students proposed a few issues as food for thought for the future work on the Project.

Afternoon

The day ended with a common dinner at a typical Roman pizzeria.
