Liceo Don Lorenzo Milani - Napoli

Our institution is an upper secondary school working in the field of education.

Liceo Statale Don Lorenzo Milani” works in the area bordering Barra - S. Giovanni a Teduccio- Naples (South Italy) and hosts an audience belonging to the same school districts and neighboring countries. This is the belt of suburbs east of the city of Naples where the problem is typical of a high-density suburbs, characterized by a marked socio-environmental degradation. Live in close contact industrial equipment in the process of demobilization, a commercial and artisan entrepreneurship low or mediocre level and residual agricultural activities.

Because of this precarious economic reality, it has developed over the years, a growing unemployment rate has deteriorated by the social substrate, generating a widespread phenomenon of crime, delinquency and immigration.

This phenomenon has also been favored by 'inclusion of a population from areas "at risk" of Naples, settled here, even illegally, after the earthquake of 1980, devoted, in fact, illegal activities and often precarious. The area has so many serious difficulties, but beyond these negatives, there is another reality: the creation, in recent years, large-scale infrastructure (parks, sports, cultural associations). These structures, however, do not fully satisfy the needs of children because the public use is not entirely open to the request of culture from the neighborhood.

Teachers are active in their fields and provide important insight into what students can expect from the real-life scenarios and how to successfully navigate it. In this lab students create and render the models developed in class, put classroom theory to practice and construct their own designs and objects. The lab as computers labs with Mac and PC computers with the software students need.

What our School want is…

The issue of environment is often dealt with in our School and meetings with expertises are often held to put the students in direct contact with real-life experiences. Our school has already participated to international and national projects so our teachers, especially our language, Science and art-Design teachers, but not only, can provide their support to this one whereas younger and motivated will put all their enthusiasm and experience in it. Our school is provided with many Artistic laboratories where new techniques and technologies are used as we have first of all the Liceo Linguistico (High School of Languages) that cooperates with other two curricula: High school for Art (especially) and for Human Science. We would like to use ART as a starting point because we think that...'There is art in nature and nature in art'. ART IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE... MAKES PEOPLE COME TOGETHER SHARING THE EMOTIONS. Art as a cooperative learning, as sharing practice between students and teachers and also as a support for weak students. Furthermore, it is also important to work on the relation between Art and Nature in order to create a feeling of European Citizenship, to discover ourselves as a defender of environment in and out of the school. The project would involve working all participants to improve awareness and understanding of the value of ART AS A TOOL OF COOPERATION, INTEGRATION AND INTERACTION. The project is aimed to emphasize the own identity of a country and to teach the citizens 'TO BE RESPONSIBLE'. The underlying assumption of this international cooperation is to work on rising students' and staffs' awareness inn protecting the environmentally friendly school, learning about partners' culture, traditions and religions, and promoting an effective cooperation. Then, we aim to share and compare knowledge that we will gain with all participants countries to make us more respectful towards environment, art, culture and traditions. We would like to arrange a number of art exhibitions each year within the school and in local communities close to our school, for people of all ages who are considered 'street artists' we cooperate with. By creating a human connection with students, teachers and artists. These workshops help people to understand the experiences of artistic laboratories reflecting and sharing on their attitudes. The workshops present different ways (paintings, sculptures, music, drama - all forms of 'free art') in which social cooperation is translated in a powerful experience. In closing a collaboration among students, teachers and artists can be an impressive and dynamic involvement. This leads to mutual respect, mutual work and eventually mutual 'exposure'. The key point is to understand that the effort is a shared effort, a collaborative exploration.
