SCHOOL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEA
"Stromboli volcano, Mediterranean Sea, erupts more than 20 times a day.
Inhabitants call him respectfully "Iddu", "HIM".
No cars nor street lighting, kids grow up deeply connected with a breath-taking Nature.
During winters the community faces storms, isolation and depopulation.
Carolina, mother of three, fights everyday to give strombolian kids an education and keep her family on the island."

Does the traditional school still make sense, nowadays?
Can education preserve classical values and expertises, which are still alive in small communities, or are they destined to dissolve?
Is Carolina's educational proposal effective and can it be a model for all isolated territories? Is self-organization a solution?
There’s at stake the depopulation of all the peripheral territories that generates our cultural diversity.
