On October 16^th we arrived in Italy and already met the first Italian teachers and students who brought us to our hostel. Shortly afterwards, we had our first dinner in a pizza restaurant in Monza. The second day was the first day of school, during which the Italian students showed us the entire school building. Additionally, we did various welcome activities and we also started to build a lamp from recycled material. 

On the second day we had school again. At first, we had various English dialogues about sustainability with Italian students. Then we started an art project about sustainability and continued to work on our lamp. In the afternoon we visited the city of Monza, its park, its royal villa and its cathedral and finally we had a dinner in Monza.

On the third day of school, we conducted a survey on responsible consumption and environmental awareness with the Italian students. Afterwards we learned the basics of pizza acrobatics from an Italian teacher. We also finished our lamps and, in the evening, there was a theatrical performance in the school building by former students who recreated various scenes from Shakespeare under the title “Shakespeare cut into pieces for Erasmus”.
