LOMBARD OLD SCHOOL AND NOT UNDER


presented the results of Ecosystem School 2008 "annual report on construction and educational services to Legambiente Mantua and Monza in the first places in the standings


Only 31% of the schools of Milan and holds a certificate of viability in 54% of the students studying in old buildings because they are made between 1900 and 1974. They are some of the data emerging from the report "School Ecosystem 2008", the annual research carried out at the provincial capitals of Legambiente province of Italians who, through a questionnaire, providing information on the quality of the structures of schooling. Under the lens of the dossier also high schools under the jurisdiction of the Italian Provinces. The survey Legambiente processed the data provided by 94 local authorities (who have expertise on primary schools) and 51 provincial (who have expertise on Higher). The data cover three main parameters: the quality of the structure of buildings in terms of age and fitness activities at school, the services and good environmental practices and, finally, the environmental risks they are exposed to the buildings.

In Sydney this year are 913 schools that responded to the questionnaire Legambiente, three times last year, providing a complex picture about the conditions in which schools Lombard: worrying fact is that only 18% of schools is in possession of a certificate fire prevention, but it is also positive in the last 5 years 32% of the buildings have enjoyed maintenance. With the data received from institutions Legambiente school has also drawn up a national ranking of compulsory education, according to the quality of school, in tenth place in which to find the Lombardy Mantova with a score of 70.85, followed by Monza (68.61) to Bergamo and twelfth place (64.9) in the fifteenth, only 55th Milan scores a score of 26.71.

" The state school building facing the Italian and Lombard is worrying - declares Andrea Trisoglio, responsible Area Education Legambiente Lombardia -. If you read such as data relating to certificates of viability is poor institutions' attention to the world of school. On the contrary we believe that making school buildings more beautiful, healthy and environmentally sustainable, is a way to invest in our future and demonstrate that they have at heart the young generation. "

D the framework of Lombardy, which this year takes into account a school population of 148,262 people, including emerging signs of commitment and improvement: in fact growing practices environmentally friendly, especially with regard to the collection, investment in alternative energy sources and food organic. 83 In fact, 59% of buildings using renewable energy-efficient lighting (even if only 0.68% in using renewable energy sources). The paper remains the material more differentiated (80.93%), followed by plastics (60.31%), and toner cartridges (47.08%), then glass and batteries (42.41%), and the staff (39.69%). In school canteens Lombard finally eat organic in 86% of institutions.

" heritage school building is the container of an important part of life for millions of Lombard, students, teachers and workers - concludes Damiano Simin, President Legambiente Lombardia - but the performance of these buildings, first regarding energy consumption related to climate, are generally poor. Tackling climate change also begins dall'involucro within which life takes place at school, and the implications in terms of quality of teaching and education that may not be significant: we invest in these buildings to make credible challenge energy efficiency throughout the community " .

QUALITY 'OF CULTURAL TERRITORIES

The territory is place of contradictions and conflicts , but also of sharing and participation. E 'in the territory, in fact, that threatens to unravel the relationship of trust between people, making it uncertain and distrustful relationship with the neighbor.

But the territory is also the place of the new . E 'in the territory that the work, social relations, environmental quality, participation is measured with the challenges of our time.

is the place of selfishness and aggression to the environment, but also care and social cohesion against individualism. The territory is now also the site of the protagonist against the backdrop of globalization, local development, identity, the drift of the premises, the possible roots of volunteering as an expression of a new type of political commitment.

An area so it is not reducible to the reading of the environmental indicators or the quality of services or settlements. It 'a body that produces culture or impoverished. In the area expressed the connective tissue of a community and an environment. In short, the common ground, create learning provides information, change attitudes and behaviors changed as well, of course, from the politics. The area educates. Or inappropriate .

The cultural quality is therefore not given automatically by the level of qualifications (although this may be an index), but the network of expertise, facilities and services which people access and level of use of this network, to continue to learn. You need to rebuild ambient intelligence networks of knowledge and skills that allow an adequate quality of life.

This seems to be the challenge for the immediate future, the collection also document the national congress of Legambiente non-profit organization: to build more cultivated areas.

here to play the role of schools, education and knowledge. The school must be able to "tell" the territory of what education is something harmful. Serves, the school is not left alone. You first need to relaunch the challenge of education for adults, but not all. Serve regional educational centers (CEA, regional workshops, etc.)., libraries, museums, theaters, movies, conferences, internet point, networks, such as opportunities for social and cultural make real participatory processes.

From here, the challenge Legambiente will do to local communities, from school.



Here are some activities that the area of \u200b\u200bEducation is proposing Legambiente Lombardia in schools.

We broke the ice. Harry Potter allows me to Crerar few minutes in a doorway. It 'nice to have books in common, it helps to understand each other!

I used Harry Potter the same way in which Perseus used the shield to kill Medusa. The myth says that no one could look directly into the eyes of Medusa without being turned to stone, but without looking at how to kill her in the eye? The wily Perseus had a brilliant idea (simple solutions are always brilliant!) Took the shield that Athena had given him and, looking at the reflected image of Medusa on the shield, he kills. Harry Potter was for me the shield is hard in two hours I managed to speak to the complexity of the world around children with a direct approach to the topic.
