GREEN SPACE INSTEAD OF CARS
From a cold, bare area with heavy
traffic, where it is impossibe to have a chat, to a welcoming space. The
entrance to Regina Margherita High School, in Valperga Caluso street has been
redesigned as student-friendly.
Yesterday you couldn't sit there, now there are benches and cube
bollards instead of metal bollards, marking the boundary between the school and
parking lots. An area now protected by barrier flower boxes, with trees and
flowers instead of grey concrete where the sun never shines, also reminiscent
of the Valentino park nearby.
The “facciamo spazio!” project was
launched with a students' party on Saturday. The project is co-financed by the Crt Foundation,
together with some neighbourhood associations, among which the lead Laquip, and
District 8.
On the occasion, you could even play
table tennis outside the school... "We're going to clean up all the
graffiti and paint murals instead" says Noemi Pironato, from the class III
DL.
But we won't stop here: <<we
want to make the school’s underground area usable and we'll paint our
classrooms again because the plaster is falling down >>, Giovanni
Bustan explains, a student from 4AL. These renovations were chosen by the
students themselves and to make their school look better, they painted on
cardboards the Liberty friezes of the near Eden Hotel.
The students will raise funds in
order to keep the project going, also with the help of a lottery, and they'll
be the ones taking care of the area, keeping it tidy and watering the plants.
Some students come to school on
skateboard. Their dream is to get rid of the cars in the whole square.
The president of the district Mario
Levi says: “it's impossible because the area suffers from
a lack of parking lots”. In the meantime we will happily watch plants climb all
over the school building.
