Our students also took part in various joint project activities with other schools from Greece, Cyprus, Hungarians from Debrecen and with pupils of some other Italian schools, 10 schools in total. These activities involving artificial intelligence and Lego play were carried out in other imponent locations such as in Palazzo Candiotti and Palazzo Trinci.
We cannot forget about the dining possibilities either as we got to eat out in various restaurants for lunch and for dinner alike to the delight of our students. With the exception of one single eatery, we are safe to say that it was one of a kind of a culinary pleasure where our students could discover new and authentic Italian dishes prepared in perfect Italian fashion with traditional standards in sight.
Cultural programmes were also high on the agenda when we visited nearby cities like Assisi and Perugia. In Assisi Dr. Shahrokh also accompanied us to the local school up on the hills and then for a city walk and Cathedral visit. The day after he delivered his speech back in Foligno at a conference organised by EGINA about the future of education.
The weekend organised and guided by Avicenna was also busy as on Saturday we went to Rome for a city walk to discover the historical city centre stopping by fascinating sites as the Trevi Fountain, Palazzo Barberini, the Baths of Diocleziano, state ceremonial church at the Piazza della Repubblica, Campidoglio, Palazzo Venezia, Monumento della Patria, Foro Romano and also the world-famous Coliseum (Colosseo). We walked up to the Spanish Steps ( scalinata della trinitá dei monti) and entered the fashion district then took the metro back to the Termini train station to get back late in the evening to Foligno.
On Sunday we took another train ride (of 3 hours back and forth) to the Tuscan capital Florence when our students were shown around the city on both banks of the river Arno. We also went uphill to reach Piazzale Michelangelo that gave us a truly spectacular sight to the town.
