ICT activity - February

The
Carnival in Rio de Janeiro is a
world famous festival held before Lent every year and considered the
biggest carnival in the world with two million people per day on the streets.
The
typical Rio carnival parade is filled with revelers, floats and adornments from
numerous samba school which are located in Rio (more than 200 approximately). A
samba school is composed of a collaboration of local neighbours that want to
attend carnival together, with some kind of regional, geographical common
background.
One of
the many main purposes of the Rio carnival parade is for samba schools to
compete with fellow rival. This competition is the climax of the whole carnival
festival in this city.
The
Carnival of Venice is an annual
festival, held in Venice, Italy. The Carnival ends with Lent, forty days before
Easter on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday.
The
carnival in Venice was first recorded in 1268. The subversive nature of the
festival is reflected in the many laws created over the centuries in Italy
attempting to restrict celebrations and often banning the wearing of
masks. Masks have always been a central feature of the Venetian carnival.
Venetian masks can be made in leather, porcelain or with the original
glass technique. The original masks were rather simple in design,
decoration, and often had a symbolic and practical function. Nowadays, most of
them are made with the application of gesso and gold leaf and are all
hand-painted using natural feathers and gems to decorate.
Mardi
Gras is an annual carnival celebration in New
Orleans, Louisiana, United States. The New Orleans Carnival season is a
season of parades, balls (some of them masquerade balls), and King cake parties.
It has traditionally been part of the winter social season; which at one time
was when parties for Southern Society women, débutante balls, were arranged.

Celebrations
are concentrated for about two weeks before and through Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras
in French). There is usually one major parade each day, but many days have
several large parades. The largest and most elaborate parades take place the
last five days of the season. In the final week of Carnival, many events large
and small occur throughout New Orleans and surrounding communities.
The
parades in New Orleans are organized by Carnival “krewes”. Krewe float riders
toss throws to the crowds; the most common throws are strings of colorful
plastic beads, doubloons (aluminum or wooden dollar-sized coins usually
impressed with a krewe logo), decorated plastic throw cups, and small
inexpensive toys.

Exchange with Norway
%2B12.37.38.png)
From
January 18th to 25th ten 3rd ESO students travelled to Namdalseid (Norway) as
part of a school exchange. The Norwegian school's name is Namdalseid skole and
is located in Namdalseid, a town 159 km far from Trondheim, the third largest
city in Norway.
The
experience was amazing: we rode snowmobiles, learned about ice fishing, Sami
costumes, saw moose, tried skiing, etc. And the most important thing: we lived
as Norwegians and made friends for life.
Thanks a lot Namdalseid community!!!!!!
