Scuola Giordani di Manfredonia – Lyceum No. 12, Vinnytsia
During the first online meeting of the “100×100: Bridges of Education” project, pupils of the Giordani School (Manfredonia, Italy) learned that students at Vinnytsia Lyceum No. 12 were collecting plastic bottle caps as part of a charity initiative.
The Italian pupils were so inspired by the idea that they decided to join the collection. Together with their teachers, they organised a bottle-cap collection at their own school to support their Ukrainian peers and their initiative.
The caps they had collected were then sent from Italy to Vinnytsia as a symbol of solidarity and friendship between the two schools.
In return, students at Vinnytsia Lyceum No. 12 recorded a thank-you video for their Italian friends, in which they said:
“Thank you so much for your warm gifts and your kindness! We are touched by your support 🙏❤️”
This story is yet another example of how a simple introduction between schools can grow into genuine mutual support and friendship between pupils from different countries.
