Venice, Mantova and Murano... An amazing discovery!

Last February, we had the opportunity to travel to Verona as part of our work in the Erasmus+ project Zero Waste that we are carrying out at school. A group of 10 students and 2 teachers formed our group.

During our stay, our hosts organised a trip to Venice and Murano. In Venice, we could admire the beauty of the city and were impressed by the wonderful palaces which adorn the Grand Canal on both sides. We learnt how difficult living in this city can be and explored the monuments which make it unique and worth being Patrimony of Humanity.

 

We: Mónica, Sara and Konjit were assigned the presentation of our experience and here you have our work.

The decision to visit Murano was made on the basis of exploring the making of glass, one of the most sustainable materials on Earth because of the abundance of the materials to produce it and because it can be recycled once and once again... It was an interesting visit and we could explore the beauty of the figures they made there.

Mantova was our choice for a visit on our free day before flying back home. Another Italian beauty to add to the list of Patrimony of Humanity sites in this country. We reflected on the fact of how the streets were made in the past, leaving space amongst the materials so that the soil underneath could breath. WE thought it was much more sustainable than our present day streets.
