"Our institution, for the umpteenth time, is the parent of a new edition of the Comenius project, which aims to promote cultural exchanges, professional and human rights among the various European nations and the Food theme and religion (Food for Soul). For this reason, on April 28 last year, a group of students IPSS of Formia, chosen because of their school performance, accompanied by teachers initiators and the head, went to Portugal, one of the nations participating in the project as the first stage of the same. To be precise, in the beautiful Azores. The countries participating in this edition of Comenius are: Italy, represented by us, Norway, Turkey and, of course, Portugal. The first meeting took place on the island of Tercera. We arrived there after a day on the plane. At the airport, we were greeted by the Dean, named Domingo, the school that hosted us. He led us in the capital, Praia da Vitoria, where we stayed. Now we discover the history and culture of those places. We could also attend a festival, the Feast of the Holy Spirit, linked to the theme of food and religion. For the Portuguese is a very important appointment. The first day, all representatives of the countries involved met to decide the schedule of the week, tours and activities included. Our delegation was led by the director, prof. Colaruotolo and included the prof. Luigi Iannotta, Prof. Ornella Ranieri and, besides myself, two other pupils of the 3rd Sagnes Richard equip. Treglia G and the Elizabeth B. IV tst The Turkish delegation consisted of three teachers (English, religion, cooking) and 4 students in Norway consisted of two professors and two girls. Also fed to the house. In students were mainly in the field kitchen.
The first day was devoted to mutual understanding, so that all delegations have submitted, which outlined the uses and customs of their places of origin. The secretary of the Portuguese, Sandra, also led us to the knowledge of the Institute and the island. The next day was chosen, among other things, the symbol - logo-which will identify the Comenius project, which is not what brought dall'Ipssar, appreciated but finished third in the preferences. We also appreciated the preparations of various typical dishes of the place and the tradition of the Feast of the Holy Spirit, including the fish cooked in particular way, alternating layers of vegetables and fish slices, we have seen, but only after preparation, a sweet bread typical of the area, used in various soups that cook. The third day we visited the town and participated in a sort of procession, in which there was a band that accompanied him, with various music, old men singing in Portuguese to celebrate the Holy Spirit, walking the streets of Praia da Vitoria. The fourth day was entirely dedicated to visiting various places and towns. In particular, we climbed up a mountain from which you could see almost the whole island. It 'was then the turn of a volcano. Inside, the vacuum left by the escaping lava, giving rise to a beautiful lake in the hills. Other natural scenery, the lake, in a protected park, Lake Pata das, located in the middle of a forest, very dense, pine and fir trees. It is not the spectacle of a bullfight in the street in a town near Praia da Vitoria, in which bulls were challenged by angry students who were in this makeshift arena to get noticed by girls. We also have detailed knowledge of the traditional dishes of the place, thanks to a chef, also taught the Portuguese Institute, which along with an old lady of the place explained in every detail the ingredients and the preparation of dishes, ranging from salty to sweet , but also very "fat".
Moreover, where there is the presence of fat, there is more taste. Finally, the last day, after greeting the Portuguese delegation, we are left with the other two to Lisbon, where we visited the most characteristic places of the city. In particular, I remember the Commerce Square, where a few days the Pope will celebrate Mass. In conclusion, these days, both boys and teachers have close friendships with peers and strangers exchanged information on the habits and traditions in religious and gastronomic field in each country. Of course, we boys we took the opportunity for boys and girls learn more Portuguese, Turkish that Norwegians. Hoping to see you soon from us. Maurizio
