The children, with flour-covered hands and aprons tied 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳, enthusiastically learned how to make pumpkin gnocchi 🎃🍝, immersing themselves in the joy of cooking while exploring local food traditions 🍽️. This activity also promoted a healthy lifestyle through nutrition 🥗, encouraging the students to appreciate the benefits of wholesome, homemade meals 🍴🍏.

As part of the project, also this year we held an event dedicated to sports 🏅. Students from the International Middle School of the Istituto Fratelli Maristi in Giugliano in Campania (Naples province) enjoyed a day full of games and physical activity 🏀⚽🤾‍♂️. Divided into teams, each with a different colour assigned 🎨, each class competed in basketball, soccer, and dodgeball tournaments 🏀⚽🏐. During the event, the children also roasted chestnuts 🌰, in perfect alignment with the project's focus on promoting healthy eating 🍎🥦, featuring local and seasonal products 🍂.
