<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>Mart K., studentessa del Liceo Rozenberg di Mol in Belgio, \u00e8 stata ospite del Liceo Romagnosi per due settimane, dal\u00a0 7 al 19 marzo 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00c8 arrivata in primavera, simbolo di una rinnovata apertura al mondo e di rinascita, dopo questi ultimi due anni cos\u00ec difficili.<\/span><\/p>\nIl soggiorno di Mart, possibile nell\u2019ambito dei progetti europei di scambio ERASMUS +, \u00e8 stato lo stimolo e l\u2019occasione, in particolare per gli studenti della 1E (classe nella quale la ragazza ha frequentato la maggior parte delle lezioni), per conoscere una realt\u00e0 diversa dalla loro, per instaurare relazioni e un modo di lavorare pi\u00f9 collaborativo all\u2019interno del gruppo classe, oltre che per utilizzare in modo veicolare le lingue studiate a scuola, tutti obiettivi e competenze che l\u2019 Europa richiede ai giovani cittadini dell\u2019Unione.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nQuesto incontro \u00e8 stato anche il primo segnale per la ripresa di viaggi e scambi internazionali: a settembre, Agata T., che ha accolto la ragazza a Parma, sar\u00e0 a sua volta ospite di Mart a Mol e speriamo che questo sia solo la prima di tante altre esperienze simili.<\/span><\/p>\nNell\u2019intervista che segue, a cura di Maria Chiara Priolo, Manuel Visani e Agata Turillazzi, la studentessa belga racconta, in un inglese a tratti molto informale, le sue impressioni sull\u2019Italia, la nostra citt\u00e0 e la nostra scuola, sensazioni che, se pur relative ad un breve periodo della sua vita, sono per lei certamente importanti e significative.<\/span><\/p>\nBuona lettura!<\/span><\/p>\nProf.ssa Isabella Maffioli \u2013 Resp. Progetti Europei<\/span><\/p>\nMART\u2019s INTERVIEW<\/span><\/p>\nHow was the atmosphere in Italy?<\/b><\/p>\n
It was kind of different from what I expected, because in Belgium everyone thinks that in Italy everyone is relaxed and they have no stress and things like that. But it was kind of different because I experienced a lot of stress and Agata (the girl who hosted Mart n.d.r.) also said that you all have a lot of stress for school and there\u2019s a lot of pressure. So I also noticed that but on the other side I also experienced a good atmosphere, like when you\u2019re dancing in the morning\u2026 It seemed to me that everyone was happy and carefree.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is the thing that you liked the most?<\/b><\/p>\n
I really like the church. Like ok there are lotta churches in Parma, but the one we went to with the art history teacher, I really like that. But I like Parma in general, it is just a very beautiful city. I really like the colors, I keep saying that because I\u2019m not used to it. In Belgium, there\u2019s almost no color: it\u2019s always just black, white and grey and boring so I really like the colors in Parma. There wasn’t one thing that was the most beautiful , it was just Parma in general. In Bologna\u2026, yes that\u2019s also just a beautiful city, I like its churches, I\u2019ve seen a lot of churches when I was in Italy. But they were also very very beautiful. So I think I\u2019m going to look at my pictures so I can say more. And in Parma or near Parma, I’ve also seen a castle that was very beautiful. I like that castle more than the church but that\u2019s because I prefer castles more than churches but that was also very very beautiful. And I also like that, when you are in Parma, you can see the mountains that are pretty far away because we have no mountains in Belgium, none. So I like them a lot, it was nice seeing them even if it was pretty far away. It was just beautiful. And I also really liked the ice cream, that\u2019s not a dish, I don\u2019t have a favorite dish. I just really like all the pasta, all the pizza and ice cream. I think that\u2019s my answer<\/span><\/p>\nI love Parma and Italy, I want to really say something to approve it. I also didn\u2019t see a lot of Italy, but I really really like Italy. It\u2019s just very colourful and very beautiful, I really like the Italian people and the cities and I don\u2019t think that you can improve that.<\/span><\/p>\nHow was the atmosphere in the classroom?<\/b><\/p>\n
It felt like a good class atmosphere, I don\u2019t really know how to say it. Like everyone was kind a friend with each other, like in my class there\u2019s like more divided in groups, I think. So yeah, I just want to say that it was a very good atmosphere, everyone was really friendly and you were dancing and things like that. But on the other side there\u2019s also a lot of stress so there\u2019s two opposite things. Yeah, that\u2019s it.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat do you think about Italian school?<\/b><\/p>\n
There\u2019s a lot of stress in your school, it\u2019s more or less the same as Belgium, it wasn\u2019t weird to me. If you want to improve something, make sure students have less stress. For me it seemed a very big problem that the students have so much stress, so I would do something about that. I don’t know how, but maybe change the system of oral tests. I think that was the main reason of the stress. I would do something about it, I don\u2019t know how. You think about it yourself, lol.<\/span><\/p>\nWas it difficult to be away from your family?<\/b><\/p>\n
It wasn’t a problem for me. Maybe it might be a problem for some people, but I\u2019m also used to it because when I was young, I went camping for 10 days and I learned to cope with it. This was just two weeks, two weeks aren\u2019t that long. Also when I was told that I\u2019m gonna go home, I didn\u2019t wanna go home. They were like\u201d you gonna see your family again\u201d and I was like \u201cI don\u2019t need to see my family again\u201d because two weeks isn\u2019t long enough and of course I love my family but I could\u2019ve coped with it longer.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat are the biggest differences between Mol and Parma?<\/b><\/p>\n
It’s very difficult to compare Parma and Mol with each other because I also don’t really know what I need to compare, school things or how the city is? I don\u2019t really know what you mean with that question.. So I have to think about it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nYeah if it\u2019s just about the city and the buildings and things like that, I can say that Parma is a lot more colorful than Mol. In my opinion Mol is very boring and it\u2019s not that beautiful while I really liked parma. It\u2019s a very beautiful city and Mol is not.<\/span><\/p>\nYour routine changed in Parma?<\/b><\/p>\n
My routine was quite different but also not that different. My school starts at 8:30 at Mol, so that\u2019s later than Parma but I also live near my school. So, I get up at 7 o’clock or 7:15 most of the time and in Parma I needed to get up at 6 o\u2019 clock \/ 6:15 something like that. So that was very early for me, and then also in Belgium in general, our breakfast is like- we eat more for breakfast than only coffee and cookies but I didn\u2019t have a problem with that. It was just different from here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAnd then, of course, also in Parma the schools used to end at half past one already so you don\u2019t have lunch at school. And it was also very different because in Belgium school ends at 3:30\/4:30 so you eat also at school and you have only breakfast and dinner at home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nYeah so, also we ate a lot later. In Belgium we eat breakfast at 7:30, we eat lunch at 1 o\u2019clock or sometimes at 12 o\u2019clock\u2026we eat dinner at 6 o’clock more or less. In Italy you eat very late, so you eat lunch at 2:30 a.m. or 2 o\u2019clock and you eat dinner at 9 o’clock! I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s like that everywhere but I think so but that was very late and very different and I was very hungry. I\u2019m talking a lot about eating, I don\u2019t know if I needed to say that but that\u2019s what I\u2019m just thinking about what\u2019s different here. So I need to- that was just different. And then I also\u00a0 went to sleep later and I had to get up earlier so I didn\u2019t get a lot of sleep. So I was very tired the whole two weeks when I was there. I was very very tired but it was worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
