The project involved the third-grade students of the 4th District School of Piacenza and aimed to promote behaviors among pupils that reflect informed citizenship and active, in line with the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
In particular, through “Il Futuro Bolle in Pentola” (“The Future is Boiling in the Pot”), the goal was to raise awareness of best practices concerning the relationship between food and the environment, laying the groundwork for building a more sustainable future for the Planet and all its inhabitants.

The project was carried out by the Piacenza Comics Cultural Association which, starting from simple and instinctive exercises, progressively led the children to acquire specific knowledge of comic drawing, enabling them to create a real comic book. This comic narrated the Battle of the Trebbia in 218 BC, fought by the Roman army against Hannibal during the Second Punic War, shortly after the founding of the city of Piacenza.

The project, through the production of an English-language musical inspired by the traditional fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood”, aimed to promote and enhance the use of the English language by engaging the children in a concrete and motivating task that involved multiple dimensions of the learning experience: cognitive, emotional, sensory, and socio-affective.
