In connection with last year’s project “My Ideal Town”
we have decided to renew the local wood, adding new
structures made with recycled materials and make a
better area for free time.
The project has been developed in three steps:
•A reduced scale model (1:100) of a green area for free
time: a wood with a playground, pic-nic area and relax
zones
•Tour of the wood guided by us students during the spring
FAI event (Italian Fund for the Environment)
•Production of the models of the street furniture with
recycled materials, such as cardboard and tires.

In Camerano there is a wood which we would like to transform in
a Free Time Green Area for our Ideal Town.

We have made a model ...To realize the base of the model, we
have used styrofoam and shaped it in various sizes, then we
have glued them together.

We have made papier mache, then we have covered the plastic
with that material; subsequently we have painted it brown with
some shades of green colour.

We have covered one side of the hill with trees made of small
pieces of green sponge for the foliage and brown toothpicks for
the trunk, pasting them together with hot glue.

We have also used toothsticks to create the various fences and
some little white stones for the path.

..and in the GAME ROOM…
…a local game for
GLOBAL FUN!

•The model was exposed both in the Erasmus Corner and at the local
wood during the “Spring F.A.I. Days” on 19th and 20th March.

Italian Environment Fund
This fund is intended to protect the cultural heritage of our
country.

We have enriched
our Erasmus project
with the “F.A.I
Giovani” project,
becoming mini-
guides of the local
Mancinforte’s wood
which, in our scale
model we have
improved.

Mancinforte’s garden
Mancinforte’s wood

The Mancinforte’s wood is a high forest mixed of Hardwood
sawmills with plants like holm, maple, and manna ash.
Nowadays the wood is included in the Conero Natural Park.

Our groups were made of about 25 people, we guided them into the
wood and our visit was now and then interrupted by some short
extemporaneus little scenes played by our friends, based on historical
legends.

• Laurel: (Laurus nobilis) An evergreen perennial plant.
Our friends acted a little scene about the laurel legend
(Daphne and Apollo)

• Hippocastanum chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum): the
margin of the leaves is doubly serrated, the central vein is
well marked. The fruits, chestnuts, are large thorny
capsules. . Here, we had another little scene about
Hippocastanum.

• Italian maple: (Acer opalus
obtusatum): 20 mt high
Very simple wavy leaves.The fruits
are samare. Here, we had another
little scene about maples.

• Acanthus leaves (Acanthus mollis):
A herbaceous native plant from Greece. This plant
is very important in the Greek architecture, in the
Corinthian capital.

• Holm oak: (Quercus ilex) An evergreen tree
very common in our wood. Many of these
holms are secular, they are more than150-
than150-200 years old.
• Downy oak: (Quercus pubescens) This
species of oak is very common in Italy. The
foliage is wide and the leaves are decidous,
they remain attached to the branches all
winter. Here we have performed our last little
scene about downy.

We have really enjoyed partecipating to this project, as we
met new people from other regions, and we noticed that
people really appreciated our performance.
We hope to participate again next year!

For the Erasmus project we have also
studied energy sustainability and renewable
resources so we have created some more
products reusing and adapting cartboard
paper.

To preserve the earth’s resources so we
have to:
-avoid the exhausting of natural resources.
-reduce the production of litter (by using
recycled materials).

Sustainabilty allows to satisfy the needs of the modern
generation without compromising the future ones.

Our classes were divided into groups and we realized different
items with recycled cardboard paper to build exhibitors, some
chairs and a desk by using glue, sellotape and box cutters.

This is one of the results
of our work, made from
recycled cardboard paper
. It was made to “display
” information and
photographs about the
Erasmus + project.

This is another
product from our work,
made with recycled
boxes as well.
It was projected to
be used as a computer
desk in the ideal
town’s GAME ROOM

These chairs -
made made of
cartboard – are
meant to be used
in the Ideal Town’s
relax zones.
