At the saltworks  in Trapani(sicily), the salt is made in a sustainable way.
They use the natural salt for cooking, for their health.
The natural salt is better, because of the height quantity of minerals and better taste.
In Trapani we can see the Flamingos.
The Flamingo is one of the important species of birds that during the mating season come her.
The Red Coral is very important because it grows close under the surface.
In other area where this coral grows, the coral is deeper in the sea.
To protect this coral, the fisherman must fish in area where the coral does not grow. The touristis can be conscius about this when they go snorkling there.Capo Gallo is an important nature reserve for vegetations and fauna.
To help it we can protect the area. The tourists can visit it with the bike or they can walk to the bay.
Also, they can use public transport and electric buses and cars.

The next day we visited the Bourbon Arsenal , which is interesting museum. There we saw two videos about submarinism and old costumes about archeoleogist and other enthusiastic subjects.

Palermo it's a beautiful city, here we have some protected areas:
Capo Gallo Reserve is one of them, there we can see some of the
bird species that are protected, some rare flora and marine fauna still existing and preserved in our area. You can also do snorkeling if you want with an experienced scuba diver.
You can visit the Isola delle femmine that goes to Capo Gallo. it's a reserve where you can see also rare bird species, and the other same things that in Capo Gallo.
Another protected area is Trapani-Paceco Saltworks which are protected by the World Wildlife Fund because they have about 170 different bird species, including flamingos, storks and herons.
There you also can see the museum of salt, then you can see the phases of salt production and some of the equipment for its extraction and collection.
Here in Sicily there's also Segesta Ancient Greek Temple that is the best preserved in the world.
One famous local of tourism is Bourbon Arsenal that is the most important cultural field in the Mediterranean Sea.
Here there are other like "Cattedrale" and "Cappella Palatina" they are the most important monuments in the city and you visit whenever you want.
How can we use the Nature Reserves in a sustainable way?
Here people throw the plastic trash to the ground, or even the chewing gum. So we can solve this problem by giving information to the people to not throw the trash away, put some trash cans and recycle bin, around the area.
About the monuments, in which way can we use tourism in a sustainable way?
The monuments are being degraded because of the acid rains that are caused by CO₂, for example the car polution. In this way we can reduce the CO₂ using electric cars, electric motos and bikes. We can also do sensiblization conferences, to make the people know about all the polution. We can think of creating more bike lanes and bike sharing places.

CAPO GALLODuring this week we have visited Natural Reserve of Capo Gallo and, despite we wanted to do snorkeling, we learned a lot about marine species and underwater plants. We also got fun with the reserching plants game. The views were unique and it was a place to get relaxed.

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
Thinking on the way in which the tourism could be sustainable we propose to go sailing around the coast and to do snorkeling.

SALT WORKSOn Thursday we went to the Salt works in Trapani. A guide explained us the process of making salt and she also talked about flamingos and their nutrition.
SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
To help the environment and reduce the pollution we could organize bike routes to go to that place. Trapani is so windy so we could use wind to produce clean energy in order to restore windmill and boost people to visit salt works.

BOURBON ARSENALOn friday we visited Bourbon Arsenal, we saw its exposition about diving equipment and some artworks. They showed us some videos about underwater acheology and red coral. After the guide explained Arsenal's history and how it has changed along the time.

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
We can organize expeditions to reseach red corals going into the sea by sailing and not using another type of boat that could pollute the water.

During this week we visited the naturereserve Capo Gallo, where there is water with beautiful wild life that should be protected from people and the trash they leave behind. there could be posters that say where you can and can not swim in order to protect the wild life. they could place trashcans that fit in with the environment but are easy to find by tourists so they can throw their trash there. sailboats don't pollute the water because they use the wind so more people should use sailboats instead of other boats.  for saving the wild life we should avoid any fishing activities. people can use bikes, electric cars or public transport to avoid any extra pollution.

Tourism is an important resource of money for locals. Tourism can raise awereness to the sustainability of the region and aid local business.
For example, in Trapani we saw a business that can be threatened by pollution. The salines are home for many species both plants and animals. It represents a source of income for local families and businesses. In the Bourbon Arsenal we were informed about the red corals that are an endangered species mostly due to fishing nets. Those animals that are similar to plants are easly destroyed by fishing activities because of being near the surface. In Capo Gallo Natural Reseve and other places there weren't any signs to raise people's awereness to the trash that is left on those places.This increased the quantity of pollution in those areas.
Sustainable tourism can be achieved by not polluting the waters (the main reason for this pollution is the residues left behind by boats) and the beaches, using public transportation and/or non pollutant transports, shopping in local businesses, not scaring the animals in their natural habitat, using sailboats, recycling, avoid fishing in areas where there are endangered species and placing trash cans  and recycling bins in touristic routes.

In this week five different countries came to Palermo for a important project about sustainable development (Erasmus +).  We visited different places of sustainable development like The Nature Reserve of Capo Gallo and the Saltworks of Trapani-Paceco and the Temple of Segesta. The most interesting was the Arsenal and the Royal Palace. In conclusion the project week was good,  but a little boring. The explanation sometimes was boring to listen to. The weather was not good and for this reason we couldn't go swimming and doing the boat trip. Palermo is not a sustainable city, because the people are throwing trash at the side of the streets. Is not good for the "health" of the city and for animals. The tourism is the most important sector for Palermo, but it can be improved. For a sustainable city and a sustainable tourism we suggest more bike and electric car sharing in the city. Sicily is a beautiful island, but it is a shame that there is a lot of trash everywhere. If local people can take responsibility of the emptying the trashcans near their home, it would be much better. When the trashcans are full, local people empty them. The most important tourism attraction in Sicily is the sea. When we went at the nature reserve we promote sustainable activities related the sea, like snorkeling, sailboat and kayak. Unfortunately the tourists coming to Sicily aren't allowed to do this activities and they "pollute" the places they visit. For resolve this problem we suggest: More trashcans, more garbage collectors and to make people more aware of the environment.

This wednesday , we went to the beautiful Capo Gallo Reserve.There, they explained us about the flora and fauna there like Posidonia and startfish .What's more other people teached us how they do snorkeling and the materials they need to do it. Without a shadow of a doubt , we believe that this was an awesome experience with a memorable sea views. On thusday we visited the Trapani-Paceco Saltworks and they explained us how they take te salt,some typical animals of there like some bird species, like  flamingos ,stroks and herons. It was a interesting activity as salt is a seasoning which is used everyday but we do not totally know which is its source.

To provide tourism to the Marine reserve of Capo Gallo we think it’s a good idea to build an ecosusteinable-museum, so that people can know about the history of the place and see all the fish and other marine organisms that live in this reserve. We think it’s a good idea because the museum can provide work to Palermo’s people. Then we would suggest canoeing, rawing boats and kayak tours of the place.

•To defend the area from wild divers that can destroy the environment.

•To let the people know the place, we can put some information in the local newspaper and tv.
We also think that it's a good idea to program some activities, like visit the place with a guide by bike and do snorkeling. The tourists haven't to pollute the place and organize some areas where there are recycle bin.    We also went to Trapani-Paceco saltworks, where they make natural salts by a lot of time. We can't also forget about the air pollution in Palermo: to reduce it we can use electric car, electric public transport and at last but not the least the bikes.

# data[].attributes.body
During this week we have done several activies such as a visit to Capogallo natural reserve. In this reserve we have watched a lot of marine species and enjoyed a beautiful landscape. There they taught us how to protect the marine species and their importance. To increase sustainable development more paper bins should be placed in the area so that tourist have and specific spot to throw all their rubish from their food or drinks, instead of leaving them in the floor or even pull them into the sea. It would be perfect if there were three containers: paper, plastic and organic rubish. Also, for arriving there more public transport must be used instead of private one.
On wednesday we went to Trapani and we visited the saline. The guide explained to us the hole process of the salt elaboration and we think it should be visited because this process is done in a traditional way and taking care of the enviroment. It was very impressive.
On friday we went to visit borbonic arsenal where we were explained how the sea arqueologists work to save the enviroment, the evolution of the machines and equipment they use and the safeguard of red coral.

# data[].attributes.body
Capo Gallo is a great example of sustainabl tourism, because the plants and the sea are preserved from pollution. It could be more sustainable by introducing recycling and sail boat trips to the near Isola delle Femmine.
We went also in Trapani's Salt Works where they make natural salt which is rich with minerals. We can improve this by expanding the producing area also because it's an important habitat for many birds species such as flamingos.
Segesta is an important example of a sustainable tourist area because it's full of green and surrounded by nature.
But we can't forget that to go to these places we need a car or a bus, so we polute the air by realesing CO2, so to reduce this type of pollution, we can create eletric public transports, or we can go by bike. We can also do sustainable activities like snorkeling and organized tours on foot.

I expected to learn new things about the culture in Palermo and the other countries, and to meet new friends. And I did. When you live with someone that is from Palermo, you learn about the country in a very different way. The week has sometimes missed structure and we did not do so much activities, but has been really fun. In Norway we have learned about the reindeers in 3 years, and we have done the same as the other countries, like bike day and energy saving night. Something that surprised me was the hot, and how different the people from the different countries are. I have learnt about model ships, salt and corals. And I have learnt about the country, its culture and their topic.

I had high expectations for this project mostly because of the social experiences but it is also due of the learning process that this project offers. The fact that I only joined the project this year didn't let me know much about what we have done in my country. I do know that the effort that the students who've been in this project throughout this 2 years and professora Graça made all the activities done in our school possible. Since I'm in this project we've interviewed multiple entities that are related to the theme of our project. We had the opportunity to join them all in a debate and discuss the sustainability of the region and it was an important meeting to the project and more importantly to the city. Also we made candles and thou we didn't partcipate in bike day (because of the steep roads) we were with you in tought. Coming to Italy is being an incredible experience so far. It was really awesome to see the culture of the sicilian people and the historic places that this city has ( I particularly liked the baroque houses and Bourbon Arsenal).  The most suprising thing was the difference between portuguese and italian culture such has the greetings (the two kisses between guys), the driving, the food (the gelatos) and of course the presence of beaches everywhere. The people here are really nice and friendly and I'm really going to miss them and Palermo.

# data[].attributes.body
my expectations for this project was to improve my english, know more about other cultures and visit new places. we have also spoken about environment and the many ways to reduce pollution in our world.
I went in Netherlands, particularly in Tiengmeten and Maasvlakte 2, two important example of sustainable development.

Tatiana: My expectations for this project were really good because I knew we were going to learn a lot and I am very interested in following a sustainable way of living. In our country we elaborated a presentation about the dehesa and the bike and electricity saving days. In Palermo, we have seen different presentations and learnt from different cultures. It surprised me the great culture of navigation in Palermo and how many countries were involved in this projects and all the work done. What I liked the most was having the opportunity to come to Palermo this week because I have been able to interact with people that have been working for so long in the same thing that I have but in a different way. I learnt a lot about navigation and how to protect endangered species. I was very surprised of how we were treated by our families and the high school, really cozy!
Alice: My expectations of this Erasmus were beautiful because I knew more different and very cute people, the first day I was very nervous but now I'm very happy and I have learnt a lot in these days. I love Segesta. When I was in Spain I did a presentation and now I have seen another pesentation of Spain, Portugal and Norway. In these week I have enjoyed and I learnt more of my town.

My exectations for this week was high. I exepected to learn more about Palermo and their topic, and get to know new people from the different countries.
We have worked with this project in 3 years now. My school had the project week in September, where we visited different tourist attractions we have in Otta within the wild reindeers. We have also done some other things within the sustainable development, like bike day and energy saving night. I have also learned a lot about the topic in Italy, while I was here.
All I expected went the way I wanted, apart from that I expected more activities. I was suprised over how different our cultures are and how warm it was.
I have learned a lot about the culture here and about their topic. The best about this week was to get to know new people and get new friends.

# data[].attributes.body
I expected the trip to be more organized and more social. The week has been kinda messy, and i expected to meet more friends after school. Anyways i love Palermo, and i also enjoyed this mobility alot.
We have been working on the project Erasmus+ for a long time and we have been doing many things in the theme: Sustainable Development.
I did attend to the Bike day, The Energy Saving Night, Mobility to Palermo. I was also a host on the mobility to Norway.
I expected to meet alot of new friends and learn about Sicily, Palermo and Palermos theme in the Sustainable Development, which went the way I expected.
The thing that surprised me the most was the fact that i had to use pants in school, even though it was really hot.
I have learnt a lot about Palermos theme in Sustainable Development, and i have learned that it is important to take care of the sea and maritime areas. I have also learnt a bit Italian and the traditions.
The things i liked the most was the food. I loved Arancino(?), and the other food i got served. I liked the trip to Mondello, but i did not like the trip to Capo Gallo, because i wanted to Scuba Dive.

# data[].attributes.body
In our experience of Erasmus+, we have learnt about other cultures and improved our english; we also have learnt a lot about how to help the environment and reduce the pollution.
(Elena) In this trip in Italy I have known so much about the marine species but I think some activites could be more interactive. My expectations here were high and actually we have done less that what was expected to do.
(Dario) In Norway i have learnt a lot about norwegian environment and about wild reindeer. The things went as I expected and i'm a lot happy about this.
We think this experience in Italy was a little disappointed because we expected to do lots of activities more interesting and finally we didn't do anything. We also were excited to do snorkeling, but at least we couldn't because of the wind (that's what they said). The families were good, and we were well care.
The best Elena's experience is the visit to Marine Reserve of Capo Gallo, mostly the views, while mine is the visit to the ice tunnel.

# data[].attributes.body
My expectations for this project were to improve english,to learn about new people,cultures,food  and to know even more about the environment.
In Italy we went to riserve marine of Capogallo, in the Trapani-Paceco saltworks and visited the bourbon arsenal. In Portugal we went to Piodao and we visited the bread museum. Everything went as I expected!
I have learned to respect and safeguard the environment and some words in Portuguese

The visit of port of Maasvlakte (Rotterdam) surprised me.
I learned to respect my country.
I liked know the habits of other country.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall, I had very high expectations for this project because of the contact with people from other countries, the new friendships and also, of course, the traveling part.
Since I went to Seia's school only this year, I couldn't folow the project from the beginning. In Portugal we've done so many different things, we interviewed important people, we've made presentations in the school and in the city hall, and we even made candles with residues!
My hosting family here in Italy is absolutly fonumenal, they are very gentle and they make me feel like home, that was one the things that I was conssurned about, but they're great! The food lived up to the expectations as well as the city in general.
What have suprised me the most was that the Italian boys greet themselvs with two kisses and they greet the girls with a hand shake, in Portugal we do the oposite!
I've loved everything that we've done and every places that we went to!

# data[].attributes.body
My expectations for this Project were very hight since the beginning. i expected that we can learn more about the Natural Parks in each country and what we can do to the sustainable devolopment.
About my experience in my country, behind the activities, it was very gratefull have someone from another country living with me during that week and charing the different culture.
Here in Italy my expectations were exceeded, i loved visiting all the places but i really wanted to do a boat trip around Palermo. I think that would be really funny. About the host familie, they were very nice anda kind. In fact all the italian people that i've know was really friendly.
For the project we did many activities like some interviews, asking tasks, the candles activity, one debate and other more.
Suprised me how the people here in Sicily greet, because the boys give two kisses and to the girls just one kiss.
What i liked the most was the meeting that we had with people from other countries, they were all very funny and of course i loved the food.
I'm going to miss you all guys!!!!!
