The remarkable triumph of San Paolo Institute of Sorrento in promoting healthy eating through innovative educational practices.

The San Paolo Institute of Sorrento has achieved a significant milestone by winning first place in a regional contest organized by the Campania Region’s Department of Agriculture, Forests, Hunting, and Fishing. With their European project “SwitchtoHealthy,” students from the culinary and IT sections outperformed 93 other participants in the XV Edition of the regional contest “Inventa il Tuo Spot…per una Corretta Alimentazione.” The competition aimed to promote healthy eating by emphasizing the Mediterranean Diet and the value of Campania’s typical agro-food products. The victorious project highlighted the institute’s commitment to innovative teaching methods and the significant role of student collaboration.

Promoting a healthy diet through creative expression

The central goal of the competition was to support healthy eating habits by focusing on the Mediterranean Diet and the promotion of local agro-food products. This year, schools were challenged to create an original video spot, lasting no more than 45 seconds, to convey the importance of the Mediterranean Diet. The San Paolo Institute’s winning entry, “Prediligi la dieta mediterranea,” stood out for its high quality and strong communicative impact, which resonated with the regional jury.

Collaboration and recognition

San Paolo’s students from the third A class of the culinary course and the third B class of the IT course collaborated to create a compelling and professional video. Roberto De Rosa, a student with notable videomaking skills, played a crucial role by engaging his peers with enthusiasm and expertise. The regional jury recognized the dedication and creativity that went into the video, awarding it the first prize among the 93 participating schools.

Impressive participation and outcome

The scale of the contest was impressive, with 1,693 students and 287 teachers from 93 schools taking part. Along with the San Paolo Institute, the top six winners included ISIS Ferraris Buccini, Plesso Liceo Artistico Caserta IV C I.C. Giacinto Romano, and other schools from Eboli, Maddaloni, and Palma Campania. Amalia Mascolo, the head of San Paolo Institute, expressed immense satisfaction with this achievement, emphasizing the continuous efforts of the faculty to enhance and strengthen hands-on learning experiences across all courses.

Innovative educational methodology

The success of the San Paolo Institute can be attributed to its innovative educational methodology, bolstered by new learning environments funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). This approach not only motivates students but also makes them active participants in their educational journey, fostering individual talents and aptitudes. The institute’s commitment to modern teaching practices has proven to be a crucial factor in its students’ success, setting an example for other educational institutions.

The triumph of the San Paolo Institute of Sorrento in this prestigious contest highlights the impact of collaborative efforts and innovative teaching methods in promoting healthy lifestyles.
