From April 14 to 17, 2026, Istituto Comprensivo Raffaello Giovagnoli hosted two teachers from Sweden, Nina Forsell and Josefin Arvesen (Rosviks skola), as part of a job shadowing experience aimed at sharing educational practices and strengthening the European dimension of teaching .

The initiative developed over a week of classroom observations, professional exchanges, and active participation in school life, involving different school branches (Via Ticino, Scardelletti, and Bersacchi).

The main objectives of the visit included:

• language teaching methodologies;
• active learning strategies;
• inclusive education practices;
• integration of digital tools in teaching;
• school organization and safety policies.

During the week, the visiting teachers had the opportunity to observe and take part in a wide range of educational activities, including:

• CLIL lessons and the use of digital tools in STEM contexts;
• coding activities and ICT-based learning environments;
• mathematics lessons focused on active learning and inclusion;
• art and interdisciplinary workshops;
• educational activities promoting inclusion and peace, such as a theatre performance.

Special attention was given to inclusive learning environments in primary school and to the organizational structure of the institute, with a focus on integration practices and the effective use of technology.

This experience fostered meaninteachers’ professional development and encouraging mutual enrichment through intercultural exchange.

The job shadowing concluded with an evaluation meeting and final feedback session, during which new ideas for future collaboration and eTwinning projects emerged.

This experience strengthened the sense of belonging to a European educational community, where sharing best practices becomes a key driver for innovation and continuous improvement.
