Dingli Primary School Students share their Erasmus+ Pupil Mobility experience with a video commentary

Last month, a group of six students together with their teachers – Ms Jade and Ms Stephanie – embarked on a three day Erasmus+ Pupil mobility in Bari, Italy. The students were welcomed at the Istituto Margherita, and were able to interact with their fellow Italian students, and participate in both classroom and extra-curricular activities.

Whilst there, the students wanted to share their experience with their school community and beyond – so they created this short video about their experience in Poland. Click on the link below to start watching!

This pupil mobility was made possible thanks to the St Nicholas College, Office of the College Principal Accreditation funds, co-funded by the European Union.

Our students participated during the French Language lessons, Arts and Crafts, Computer Lab session and even a digital treasure hunt. Our students on the other hand had prepareda PowerPoint about the Maltese Culture and Traditions.  The Italian students were very curious and asked a lot of questions about Malta! Both the Maltese and the Italian students had also prepared presentations about their respective educational systems (the Maltese and Italian systems) and both sets of students enjoyed learning about each others’ experiences.

In their free time, students also had the opportunity to visit Polignano a Mare, Bari Vecchia, Alberobello and Grotte di Castellana.

Our students enjoyed this enriching experience immensely. Here is a Power Point Presentation that they prepared with the help of their teachers:
