Istituto Comprensivo "G.B. Perasso"
Istituto Comprensivo "G.B. Perasso" is a school situated in Milan, Italy. Students are between 4 and 13 years old. We can regard this school as an intercultural school because of its students are from all over the world. Therefore we try to practice inclusion in a real way.
The school was founded in the 30s of the previous century, but just in this school year 2018-2019 the secondary school opens to a group of students regarded as "pioneers".
Istituto Comprensivo Montignoso - Scuola secondaria I grado "G.B.Giorgini"
The Institute is located in the municipality of Montignoso, one of the smallest communes in the province of Massa Carrara, part of the protected area of the Parco delle Apuane. It is made up of nine schools: four children's schools, four primary schools and one middle school.
In order to promote a significant link with the territorial reality and with the economic and training resources of the Province, The Institute has started a study about the design of orientation activities addressed to pupils and realizes projects aimed at enriching the activities included in the teaching planning.
The activities are multidisciplinary and according to a vertical curriculum, in response to the needs of the students who are so involved in activities aimed at individual and group growth.
It prefers the laboratory activity for all disciplines and develops projects on various themes such as science, greenhouse and geometry, photography, images and animation, music and theatre.

About ARISS
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see www.ariss.org.
