The dishes of the theme evening

We proposed four dishes of our partners' menu created in 2007. It was a real success!!! They were presented by the cooking teacher Domenico Guarino to the guests of our gala dinner for the Pizza Torneo and the headmaster in his interview about the Pizza Stage- Torneo released to tele A1 explained why we included the dishes in our dinner menu of the Pizza Torneo.

Among our special guests there were the Provveditore agli Studi di Cosenza , the headmasters of the high schools of The Alto Jonio Cosentino, the major, the press, the school staff, the four partecipatinmg schools with headmaster, referent teachers, students.
The dishes included in the menu were the paella, the salmon, lasagne portofino, the poires and courgettes. We also handed an evaluation card for the dishes and what they appreciated the most was the salmon!

Here are some photos ( from top to bottom) : the menu, the evaluation card handed to our guests, lasagne Portofino, the salmon, the poires and courgettes, the paella, the students that served with the service teachers, the preparation phase of the dishes.

Planning the theme evening

We have thought of when to propose the dishes that are part of the menu each school worked on in 2007 and since our school doesn't have a restaurant pedagogique open to public in the evening, we thought of proposing the dishes in occasion of an Etwinning pizza torneo project that will be held in our school premises from 10-15 March. Our partners are from Hungary, Bulgaria, Portugal, Romania, Turkye, Russia. It is a nice way to show the work of our students and disseminate the Comenius practice among our partners and community.

Our school and Comenius

The vocational school “ Ezio Aletti” was named after the engineer Ezio Aletti, the previous owner of the building, which in the past was a bathing establishment and that later was donated to the Town Hall of Trebisacce stating in his will that it should have hosted a vocational school. The building is near the train station and a few metres away from the beach .It is a three-storey building and in the 40s and 50s it hosted people who used to spend their Summer vacation in this town. In the 70s it was restored inside to host the school.
It is found in the School District N° 29 and hosts about 850 students with different social backgrounds coming from villages and towns found on the nearby mountains , hills and coasts of the “ Alto Ionio Cosentino” .
It is a mixed school where boys and girls, aged 14-19, can choose from the following courses: the electronic and electrotechnical course-the chemistry-biology course-the hotel and restaurant course.
Our school has also links with the University of Calabria which is 100 km. far from where we live and with which we have signed a Protocol that gives students the possibility of taking at school the admission test for the Faculty of Maths and Science.It was the first to be accredited by the quality certification in the whole Calabria region.
In order to speed up the intercultural process among students we offer them the opportunity to take part to school projects (POF) and national projects (PON) that are always students’ centered and where the equality of gender is also guaranteed.
Another target of our school formative plan is the European dimension. Allowing our students to take part to Socrates projects we are also taking them into the history, the cultural heritage, lifestyles , working procedures of other European countries.
Our school has grown a lot since we started this Comenius project: etwinning, Youth projects are also being proposed to our students who are willing to take part showing an increasing interest and motivation towards other cultures.

Our garden

We started looking where we can have our herbs garden at school. We decided to plant them in our school internal courtyard where the big tree standing in the middle fell and that now left room where we can plant our herbs with the new coming year. We will plant rosmary, hot peppers , parsley, wild fennel, basil, dill, garlic, and sage and other seasonal herbs that we use in our kitchen.

The picture is with the tree but we wanted to post it just to show you where the garden will be.

At the beginning of the new year in March we will plant our herbs.
