The project “Alimentiamoci” matches the strategic goals of Volta high school: first of all building
an ideal bridge among different experiences of language, culture and ability.
The main goals
are: living in cooperation with other people, creating a social communication
around a common theme as a “facilitator”.
In order to
reach these goals, Volta High School has built a net with local community
(local government, University of Pavia).
Each student,
led by professors, family and expert consultants, gives his contribution for
the final product.
FINAL PRODUCT

a web site in which different works prepared by single students or by the
entire classes find their wright place and give a contribution to this sort of “tablecloth” of taste and multi-sensory knowledge.
