Workshops and Projects

This project aims to investigate the ‘social media’ phenomenon and to supply suggestions for good practice whilst using digital devices. Arguments like Cyberbullying and the Internet Realm, both positive and negative, with particular consideration of ‘content creator’ (Who is it? What is their role? What communication strategies have been applied?)

Developing an efficient study method that is adapted to your needs is one of the most important academic objectives. This project concentrates on experimenting with learning techniques that allow students to memorise things in the least amount of time and in the most effective way possible. Therefore, students learn to create a study plan, highlight keywords in a text, create a summarised mind map and thus understanding and connecting ideas in order to remember them for a longer time.

This course is for 3rd year Middle School students as an approach to studying Latin in order to familiarise themselves with the subject before going to high school. Based on the notions of Italian grammar, which are reviewed and strengthened here, the basics of analysis, understanding and translation of a text in Latin are taught, through the study of the alphabet, pronunciation, conjugations, verb tenses and first syntactic constructions.

Making short videos is a way of studying film media but above all, it is a means to reflect on values of friendship, respect, tolerance and inclusion.

Enhancing logic and reasoning skills is essential for solving problems, improving critical thinking, and learning to communicate effectively. This workshop offers very varied activities, ranging from solving puzzles and mathematical games to writing short programming codes

Our institute offers all students, starting from primary school, choir singing and drama activities in English. The project aims to foster the creative expression of young people, work in groups, improve their communication skills, but above all develop self-confidence. The work is initially based on group knowledge techniques, through role-playing games and expressiveness activities. The students then focus on preparing and staging a real theatrical show, in which in addition to acting, they sing. There are two events scheduled during the year: the first during the winter period, the second at the end of the school year.

This course has become a real curricular subject of study, alongside the ministerial Technology programs. Teaching takes place entirely in the dedicated computer lab, where each student has their own station, and teaches the basics of computer use. The main topics covered by the course are:

Basic computer and operating system functions

Creating and managing files and folders, web searching, and using an email inbox

The main word processing, calculation and presentation creation office programmes

Programming bases (Scratch language)

Netiquette and digital bullying, or what rules to follow when browsing the internet (2° and 3° media)

Learning these skills, according to a sequential and structured program over the three years, is extremely useful both for students' current and upcoming academic careers and for multiple future career paths.
