Last 31st March, the President, with the support of Mr. Aldo De Michele, had a meeting with some students from Amaldi high school of Science, in Alzano Lombardo (BG), as part of a day dedicated to events chosen by the students themselves, called Monteore.
In this case, the focus of discussion was: “Our experience in Africa”. Given the success of this event, we decided to replicate it, in a completely different format however, to the university students of the Degree Courses in Educational Sciences and Pedagogical Sciences. The idea was liked and, thanks to the availability of Prof. Marco Lazzari, Director of the Department of Human and Social Sciences, and the activity of Prof. Paolo Bertuletti, who commendably managed the organisation, the President and our psycho-pedagogist, Dr. Rita Florenti, will be at the University of Bergamo on 16 May to present the seminar: ‘The training of volunteer teachers for pre-schools in Africa’.
We hope to stimulate students’ interest in our project ‘The Santina Gusmini Kindergartens’. It will be our aim to promote awareness of the project in a plurality of future meetings, especially with students, to make them participate in such rare initiatives in a year when Bergamo, our city, is the capital of culture.
