Sounds and songs from the local traditions 6. Weathers in Locorotondo in old sayings 7. Display of the outputs from the workshops 8. Making of rhymes, Christmas cards, drawings 9. Traditional songs played by traditional instruments 10. Research on customs, habits and traditional believes All actions have been photographed and filed. The students of the V.A.S.E. Erasmus + project have sponsored the event by making a very large project banner, by supporting the values of their town traditions and by recognizing their importance as fundamental basis to build a solid and reliable future. We live in a world where everything keeps changing rapidly and some important features of our cultures seem to fade away during this process. As one of the main objective of our project is to develop social values in our students, to foster entrepreneurship and to enhance creativity and innovation, our students have been challenged to face the importance of knowing past traditions in order to find new creative ways to move on, without losing the sense of being part of a specific culture and identity. All those activities listed above considered relevant and suitable for the implementation of the V.A.S.E. project have been uploaded online on the project Facebook and blog sites. They will also be posted on the project Etwinning site and school website both in Italian and in English, including the making of Christmas cards made at school during the event. | ||
