This project aims at the requalification of the floor of the school’s playground. Students organized class assemblies and students’ representative assemblies, and during these meetings they identified as a problem the floor full of irregular pebbles in the playground, very popular equipment in school. The pebbles have caused some accidents and, when it rains, they take a long time to dry, preventing the use of the park. During the assemblies, students tried to findways to solve the problem: they collected information, talked to parents and contacted different entities. The project is still ongoing but has already allowed students to learn much from it.
