OUR RESEARCH. 'Stop in square' is our team and we chose to work on the FESR project “I Sagrati delle Cento Chiese” that we translated as “The 100 Aversa churchyards”. This is a project which aims at recovering and renovating the historical centre of Aversa in an attempt to reduce the issues caused by the growing urbanization. The churches interested by the changes in Aversa historical center are San Paolo Cathedral and some other main churches. More specifically, the project targets the churchyards of Santa Maria a Piazza, San Domenico in Piazza Plebiscito, Santa Maria del Popolo in Via Castello, San Nicola di Bari. Our attention was caught by this project for different reasons; first of all, it is focused on our reality; Aversa is our town and we are proud of doing a study to enhance our general knowledge of our territory; secondly, data about this project are accessible to us because we feel that our governors will help us providing the information we need thus showing us that the interest they maintain they have in our education, especially during all their electoral campaign, is real; thirdly, from the Opencoesione website we read that 94% funds have been monitored for works on only 1,600 sq m, which is half the foreseen surface, and this data has particularly aroused our interest. Now we will explain our activities at school.
OUR TEAM. We decided to have three project managers, all of them with outstanding organizational skills and leadership: Giulia Torino, very skilled in communication and with a highly developed visual memory; Lorenzo Santagata, a natural social leader with his ability to create cohesion among the team members and Luciano Mottola, able to run negotiation and to help members express their best qualities. At the same time, Linda Verde, Andrea Visconti, Giuseppe Iuliano, Rosanna Marrone and Antonio de Simone proposed themselves as our brilliant data analysts. The bloggers are Federica Ferrigno, Alessia Vittorioso, and Francesca Mozzillo, who all love writing. Furthermore, our designers, who all have a strong sense of beauty, are Fabiana Turco and Benedetto Maria Fusco; the social media managers, very skilled in communication on social media: Domenico Iorio, Christian d’Angelo, and Lucrezia Brusciano. Finally, Chiara Mauriello, Alessia Rosaria Cinquegrana and Maristella Cinque proposed to work as storytellers, gifted with rich creativity. After establishing the role that each one of us holds in the team, we have experienced ourselves as a real communication agency, where every single one of us held a remarkable spot, contributing to the final work that was the creation of our logo.
OUR NAME. “STOP IN SQUARE”, followed by the Italian subtitle “Fermi in Piazza”, recalls the name of our school, liceo “Fermi”, translated in English as “Stop”; the number 2 stands for square which represents our course of study as a scientific liceo and at the same time it can stand for the place of our interest, the square which is the real centre of life here in Aversa, the place where we all gather to spend our leisure time with friends and that in our town usually are churchyards.
OUR LOGO. We were immediately inspired by the stop sign which represents our name more graphically: our hardworking designers prepared four possible proposals among which the group decided through an online survey. 17 votes were given to the selected logo, which had to be refined again and again to reach what was its perfection for us.
OUR WORK IN CLASS: As a start, we watched the video pills the website offers about the European politics and the tasks we are asked to accomplish. Working as a team, we started brainstorming in our first meeting and we managed to find a name which could mirror both our project and our identity. As for the logo, we were immediately inspired by the stop sign which represents our name more graphically: our hardworking designers prepared four possible proposals among which the group decided through an online survey. 17 votes were given to the selected logo, which had to be refined again and again to reach what was its perfection for us.
The first meeting was dedicated to introduce the ASOC project to the group, to create a real team as we all come from four different classes of the third and fourth year of our curriculum of study and to assign a role to each team member, which was carefully chosen according to the bent of each of us. During our four meetings, ten hours in total , we accomplished most of the tasks in class, where every member worked as if we were a real agency while being carefully assisted by the project managers.
OUR EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: We believe that the most important moments at school are focused on the acquisition of skills and this project gives us the opportunity to negotiate solutions, to learn public speaking skills and to work as a proper group. This project will give us the chance to collect and analyze a large amount of data to get to some conclusions and to express our ideas through articles of data journalism. Thus we also train on public speaking and debate techniques and we will learn how to write data journalism articles. Moreover, the reason why we chose “I Sagrati delle Cento Chiese” as our project is because we aim to raise public awareness about the preservation of the historical sites that belong to all of us as citizens.
By doing research, our analysts found out that, although more than half the contributions requested for the recovery of the churchyards have already been provided, renovations turn out to be not even halfway done, our group therefore intends to investigate on how those funds were actually spent.
OUR COMMUNICATION TARGET : Our team addresses this project to a very wide public; we wish to catch the attention of our school first, to enlighten our classmates and consequently spread our message among their families; but our biggest goal is to involve the entire Aversa community, who should care about the flourishing of their own territory more than anyone else. Last but not least, we ask for a dialogue with the administration of Aversa to discuss what concerns our cultural heritage in order to make our city a better place.
