Istituto Comprensivo Statale Nereto Sant’Omero Torano Nuovo
Our School “I.C.S. Nereto- Sant’Omero- Torano Nuovo” is a comprehensive Institute (161 teachers and 1141 students) divided into 3 levels of education: pre-school, primary, lower secondary; it is distributed on the territory of three different municipalities (Nereto, Sant’Omero and Torano Nuovo) in Val Vibrata area.
Our Comprehensive Institute is internationalising its own educational role, focusing the attention onto some hubs:
- Enforcing linguistic competences in order to make students able to obtain certifications in foreign languages.
- Teachers at any level of our educational sectors are building up lessons of each subject according to CLIL methodology. •We are developing teaching perspectives based on ICT technologies.
- We have a long experience in ICDL (International Certification of Digital Literacy) Our Institute is located in a rural area close to the Adriatic Sea and not so far away from the Appennini Mountain Chain.
There is also plenty of rivers and streams. Since the main activities are agriculture, fishing, wine and oil production, we recognize the importance of protecting the environment and nature. In particular, the Adriatic Sea is very sensitive to pollution for several reasons. First of all, it is a semi-closed basin, it has a medium-low depth, the water circulation is limited and the coasts are very populated. Due to tourism and industrial activities, many rivers from the Italian coastal side cause the contamination of the Adriatic Sea water. Given all the aspects above mentioned, we want our students to be aware of the importance of preserving the marine ecosystem and improving the sustainability of environmental resources, as well. During the years, to gain these objectives we have developed a lot of projects such as: -collaboration with the CENTRES OF ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION. -Garbage recycling in order to create a sort of artistic objects. -“Ambienti-amo-ci” project focused on our environmental heritage safeguard. -“Plastic-free” project focused on the problem of microplastics, relying on the “Care the Ocean” volunteer Association and in collaboration with the University of Camerino.
