OBIETTIVO 5

Two Schools, One Territory, One Goal: SDG 5

The project enabled students and teachers to explore and reflect on gender inequalities in the schools of Valchiusella, in the province of Turin, through music and performing arts.

A Shared Educational Path

This project is the result of a co-design process carried out in May–June 2024 by CISV, the local partners AUDRA and BILOURA, together with teachers from the schools involved.

Schools Involved

Who Took Part

Students from classes 3A and 3B (IC Vistrorio) and 2B and 2C (IC Pavone Canavese) will be directly involved, guided by their teachers and supported by experts.

The Journey

November–December 2024: Introduced the 2030 Agenda and SDG 5, with role-play and interactive activities (led by CISV).
January–April 2025: Worked collectively on songs, stories, and materials from students’ communities, including contributions from families and neighbors, and creatively re-elaborated content (led by CISV, AUDRA, BILOURA, and local experts).
May 2025: Final rehearsals and community performance presenting the outcomes of the project.

Our Approach

Activities followed the principles of Global Citizenship Education, combining three dimensions:

Cognitive: understanding gender equality through meetings with experts and local educators.
Socio-emotional: engaging students in active participation and shared responsibility.
Behavioral: learning to design and implement concrete actions individually and collectively.

Community music and performing arts and were used as tools to raise awareness, express ideas, and co-create solutions on complex topics.

OUTPUT

The educational path culminated in a “sound walk” through the streets of Vico Canavese. Students from the middle schools of Lessolo and Vico Canavese transformed their reflections on equality, discrimination, and gender-based violence into music, dance, theatre, slogans, and readings.

This immersive performance became a march of ideas and creativity, engaging not only the students but also their families and the wider community. Through this shared experience, the project aimed to foster reflection, dialogue, and the creation of more just and inclusive spaces for everyone.
