Romania and France were hosted by our Institute.
It was a week of hard work and commitments but also of great enthusiasm
for students, teachers and families who met new Friends from other Nations.
The Project is based on the relationship between man and animal and
wants to promote the respect and protection of all living beings by increasing
empathy and tenderness. The purpose of our participation is to motivate
students to cooperate and develop good models of empathy towards the
environment, people, nature and animals.
Our work plan has been focused on various laboratory activities, as set
out in the "PRET A PET" Project.

The Students of San Fele
classes presented the theatrical performance "THE GREEN CIRCUS", a
musical in English/Italian language to promote the idea of an ecological circus
where fun has to be offered by skills of artists and not by the exploitation
and torture of animals.
The activity involved all
students of the three classes by implementing interdisciplinarity, inclusion,
cooperation, group work in a climate and a spirit of openness, sharing and
enthusiasm.
