SUMMER CAMP: ITALY

In Italy teenagers usually have a summer trip with other teenagers. There are different kinds of camps.

For example Luigi went to a music camp in Sardegna last summer. In that camp all teenagers had the opportunity of taking lessons with famous musicians and doing a concert at the end of the camp.

Also Marco went to a boyscout  camp last summer. In that occasion some teams challenged each other on specific topics such as cooking, agility, running, and so on. The winner team for each skill gained a medal as a prize for its knowledge about that particular topic. It was very amazing!

According to us summer camps can be a very interesting and funny experience for all teenagers, with important educational values too.

Meet Sherrita Duran: gospel music is back in town

On 29th march we went to Siracusa theatre in R.Calabria, to take part in gospel singer Sherrita Duran workshop. We talked about gospel music origins, and after that we sang together several songs belonging to the same genre. There were also other classes  from our school and from other schools as well. It has been a very interesting and exciting experience, because we sang with a very good singer.

Nanotechnology is the future

We think nanotechnology is the most exciting thing that we've read about for years! It will bring us many benefits. In my opinion, using nanotechnology in the energy field is the most important benefit because will have a free supply of energy that isn't damaging to the environment.Benefits already observed from the design of these products are an increased electrical storage capacity, and a decrease in the amount of pollution from the use of energy. Benefits such as these make the investment of capital in the research and development of nanotechnology a top priority. In fact, we live in the southern part of Italy and during year there is the sun. Here it would be really possible to use sunlight as main energetic resource.















Another exciting idea is also thinking that one day planes and cars will use solar energy instead of classic fuel.

Technology and Gaming

TECHNOLOGY & GAMING

In Italy we use a lot of technology especially mobile phones and ebook, usually each person has at least one cell and the children learn to use them when they are babies. In Italy, the technology is widespread and advanced. As for the games they are also widely used especially by children, young people but also adults. Consoles which are used mainly playstation 3 and xbox 360 and PC and many others. You can also define that in Italy the technology and the games become very easy to employee, the majority of people are always on the phone or the PC.

Danilo: ”I like playing videogames with friends but also alone and I spent hour and hour on it”

Robert :”Instead I use so much my telephone for messaging and playing games like Crandy Crush and QuizDuello.”
