My school is located in Corsico,  in a suburban area, just a few kilometres from the big city of Milan, not far from the agricultural fields of the Po plains, and it stretches along a long avenue scattered with shops, malls and offices of the most modern giants of the service industry. Our school goal is to stimulate and reinforce key skills, such as learning how to learn, how to plan, to communicate, to cooperate, to act autonomously and responsibly, to be able to pinpoint correlations, to gain and interpret  information by using technological devices, like for examples smart phones, tablets, networks and 2.0 web tools. We have put the traditional hierarchical teaching methodology (teacher-student) aside, favouring instead the more spontaneous from peer to peer learning process, in order to elicit the transfer of knowledge and skills, emotions and experiences among students
