The Itis Majorana School in Ragusa is accredited as a Polyfunctional Resource Centre for Dropouts, a phenonmenon that the school studies and fights on various fronts. Sicily, in fact, is the Italian Region with the highest dropout rate (26%). The national average is 19.2%. The school in Ragusa has activated new tools for the 2011-12 school year, including the Nonni SUD Internet Project that employs technical, didactic and relational skills of digital natives to teach elders how to use a computer.
The first training workshop, held by Ana Lain on September 30th at the Majorana School, developed the idea of opening a small electronic music laboratory for the elder students.
Ana Lain interviewed some of the people involved in the project:
Maria Concetta Giarritta Prestipino, Headmaster
Ubaldo Casamichiela, Director of Administration and General Services
Giuseppe D'Izzia, Coordinating Teacher
Angelo Tidona, President of the Insieme Terra Iblea Auser Centre
