The 4th mobility of school libraries in our project took place in Cerignola, Italy. Six teachers from three countries participated successfully in the activities planned for this mobility, which translated into the opening of a new library in the host school, the sharing of good practices, the visit to one of the biggest public libraries in Italy and a cultural appropriation of the Puglia region.
After the greetings and the speech of the school headmaster, all the teachers involved in this Erasmus project moved to the new library of this school in order to start the work plan. They discussed about the different activities carried out and to be developed during the next two mobilities. At the same time, the representatives of each country and of the different library teams showed the good practices developed in their country, giving rise to a rich sharing of ideas and learning.
In the afternoon they visited the Saltpans of Margherita di Savoia.
On Tuesday, the hosts organised a trip to Matera – the participants had a day trip to the historical centre of the city: UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE. Moreover, on Wednesday morning, all project partners visited the magnificent city of Trani.
On Thursday, all the participants visited the provincial library of Foggia, in a visit guided by its director, with a presentation of books over 500 years old that are part of the collection of this huge Italian library.
After this visit, in the afternoon, we went to Monte Sant’Angelo, where we visited the old centre and the ancient cathedral built under a huge rock.
On Friday, all the teachers met in the school library of the host school and watched a video prepared by Greek teachers. The coordinator of this Erasmus project gave a summary of the objectives and the activities to be developed until the next mobility, this one already with students. On the same day, at the closing of the activity, the teachers received their attendance certificates and gifts.
It ended a teachers’ mobility with the fulfilment of the objectives programmed in the project, with a pedagogical and cultural enrichment.
