The ETwinning project is really appreciated to me. Thanks to it I learned many teachings and new attitudes. In addition, this initiative has allowed us to understand that it is not enough to be good with the PC, but one must be able to bring real actions into everyday life. These days there are services for team rates and you learn ways that will serve to integrate our school with the EU reality, but at the same time, we met to organize events that differ slightly from the school program in order to deepen our attention in 'to be European citizens. The topic I liked the most was the climate change project; with which they realized that probably until a few years ago, we have not yet fully realized what the impact of climate change on the global and local economy could mean. The acceleration of the intense atmospheric phenomena of recent years, which is touching with increasing frequency also in Italy, are somehow led to the factual reality: climate change is really an emergency and it is also from an economic point of view.
