Meeting in Romania

1. I.I.S.S. “G. De Gemmis”
Bitonto (BA) A.S. 2011/2012
.. Comenius project ..

2. • Recycling;
• Requalification of an old
building;
• Dissemination of the project
activities inside and outside the
school.

4. … we help the world to smile …
HOW ??

5. Steps for recycling paper:
• Cut the newspaper into small pieces;
• Immerse them in a container with water and
bleach;

6. • Leave to soak for a few days in order to
whiten and soften it;
• Press in such a way as to eliminate part of
the water;

7. • Chop the mixture by means of a mixer;
• Place the whole in a sieve and press it;

8. • Put the mixture into an oven so that all the
water evaporates;
• And here's our recycled paper;

10. The city of Bitonto is
sponsoring the distribution
of recycling biodegradable bags

11. We have proposed recycling in
our school through the use of these
bags and boxes

12. • We used cardboard boxes of eggs;
• The underneath part has been cut in such a way
that the individual egg compartments have
been used to create the Easter chick;

13. • The two pieces thus obtained have been stuck
together through the tape placed on one side of
the box and after they have been covered
with paper glue to make them more resistant;

14. • Everything has been colored
with yellow paint;
• We have added the orange pieces of cardboard
under the “body” of the chick to make the legs
and
the beak;

15. …REQUALIFICATION OF AN
OLD BUILDING…
In our city there are
several abandoned
buildings, but the building that
has struck our interest is
one near our school ... And
here's how it is!

16. This was the entry;
This was a manger;

17. This was the kitchen;
This was a closet;

18. This was the living room;
This was the bathroom;

19. This was the barn;
This was the garden;

20. This was the bedroom;
This was the terrace;

21. This is the plan seen from above of the
abandoned building taken into
consideration:

22. And here it is how it could be restored becoming
a wellness centre:

24. Water covers more than 70% of
the Earth's surface and is a very
important resource for people
and environment, and
through pollution their health is
impaired.

25. Plastic Apulian water works :
The water treatment plant “ Sinni” is considered the most
important in our region, the treated water is that of the
river Monte Cotugno. The finished product is drinking water
free of bacterial forms, but rich in minerals:
calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. Drinking
water is then sent into the distribution network. The plant is
located near the Baker Farm in the rural city of Laterza (TA).

26. Sedimentation tanks :
The gravity settling is a method of mechanical separation of
the steps that make up an emulsion or a suspension that is
based on the process of spontaneous sedimentation. Its
effectiveness depends on the density of the suspended
particles that must be greater than the liquid which acts as
a solvent. Another parameter that influences decantation is
the size of the suspended particles, the smaller they are, less
effective decantation is.

27. Tanks of treated water:
These tanks are equipped with pipes that are
connected with all the water supply tanks to keep
them under constant control. These are always
working but even so t water is never wasted
because it is sent into the tanks.

28. Sludge dehydration:
Dehydration is a treatment to which sludge, from the sludge line
of sewage treatment or potable water plants, is subjected to
reduce the water content and makes the subsequent operations
of processing and disposal or incineration cheaper and easier.
Dehydration can be performed either on a rough mud or on a
building.
After treatment, the sludge that is formed has a semi- solid
consistency. In the case where it is foreseen the incineration of
sludge, dehydration has the task of increasing the calorific value of
the mud itself.

30. Water is a common property and it is limited
and as such it should not be wasted in vain ...
We need to think about those who don’t have
this precious good …….. don’t waste it!

31. Respecting environment is
important for all ...
If we don’t respect it we do a
damage to ourselves and our
surroundings ...
Water pollution, due to numerous
factors, causes fish death …

32. Dissemination:
To show people the project, we all have
been carrying forward for two years and to
make them understand the importance of
these projects that link different
countries, we thought to make
posters,which show the individual
experiences and activities and exibit them
at the municipality of Bitonto ...

35. ..THANK YOU FOR ATTENTION..
..WE WAIT FOR YOU..
