International Women's Day at La Encarnación School.

At La Encarnacion school a group of students have prepared a text on International Women's Day to make us reflect on the role of women in our society and the changes have already occurred and must continue to occur to achieve true equality.

International Women's Day is a significant occasion celebrated worldwide on March 8th each year. It's a day dedicated to honoring the achievements of women and advocating for gender equality.

 

On this day, people around the globe come together to recognize the contributions of women in various fields such as politics, science, arts, business, and more. It's also a time to reflect on the progress made towards gender equality and the challenges that still exist.

 

Events and activities are organized to raise awareness about issues affecting women, including gender-based discrimination, violence, and inequality in access to education and employment. These initiatives aim to promote empowerment and create a more inclusive society where women have equal opportunities and rights.

“Con lo sguardo di Nella” – “Looking with Nella’s eyes” Shoah commemoration theatre performance

 Written by Gregorio U., Gabriele T., Sebastiano V., Asia M., Angelica P.

Every year in our  school in February there is a show performed by students. They act and read stories of people who had lived during the Second World War and the Shoah.

On the first of February 2024 we went to the cinema and we watched this performance, named “Looking with Nella’s eyes”. At the beginning the actors got expelled from their school in Genoa, and they got deported to the concentration camp in Calvari, a small town in Fontanabuona in the province of Genoa. They lived in slums and life was really hard because they were prisoners and hardly got fed. After that they were taken to Milan and then to prison. Later they were deported to Auschwitz Birkenau from platform 21 which was the platform the trains left towards the concentration camps. 

When they arrived there they divided people: they tattooed a number on an arm to recognise them, they shaved their heads, they got dressed as prisoners and the weakest ones were taken to gas chambers and when they died they were burned. This is the first story we were told.

The second story is about Andra and Tati and their cousin Sergio, at the beginning Sergio said that they moved from Naples to Rjieka but there they were arrested and taken to San Sabba concentration camp. They were taken to milan where they found their grandma and they left to Auschwitz. When they arrived they were divided and their grandma was killed while Andra, Tati and Sergio were led to a kinderblock. Once the lady who looked after the children told Tatiana that one day someone will ask them whether  they wanted to see their parents again and they should have answered that they don’t. they were exchanged for twins and for this reason they survived.

The third story was about Liliana Segre who told that she was deported to Auschwitz at the age of 13 but since she looked older, she was divided and went with the women and they cleaned the slums and worked. At the end there is a flashback about the first story of Nella’s life who died in gas chambers a month before her sixth birthday. 

In our opinion it was touchy and it is important in their life. By Gabriele T., Gregorio U., Sebastiano V., Angelica P. and their classmates

Happy Peace Day

Peace Day is a special day when everyone around the world comes together to promote peace and understanding. It happens on the 30th of January  every year. On this day, people do different things to show their support for peace.

 

Some people might organize events like concerts, marches, or art exhibitions to spread the message of peace. Others might hold discussions or workshops about how to solve conflicts peacefully. Many schools also take part by teaching about the importance of peace and encouraging students to be kind to one another.

 

At La Encarnación school, Peace Day has been a day of celebration and reflection, focused on the transformative power of empathy and understanding. With the theme "Recipe for Peace", students have participated in activities that encouraged dialogue and creativity. The morning concluded with a collective commitment to take with us the lessons learned and work together to promote peace everywhere. 

 

 

Peace Day is important because it reminds us that even though there are many problems in the world, we can all work together to make it a better place. It's a time for us to think about how we can be more peaceful in our own lives and how we can help others do the same.

 

So, on Peace Day, let's all take a moment to think about how we can spread peace and make the world a happier and safer place for everyone.


HAPPY PEACE DAY TO EVERYBODY

Written by Byron

On October 28th we commemorate the anniversary of "NO", when the Greeks in 1940 refused to surrender to the Italian forces and thus began the Greco-Italian war during the Second World War.
