Soap: from tradition to industrial process

Description

"The Centre Asty-Moulin (BE) had the opportunity to find out about the I.S.S. ""V. CROCETTI - V. CERULLI"" (IT) by carrying out a search for a potential partner for the launch of an Erasmus+ project for the year 2020-2021. These two schools are united in the desire to developing innovative and stimulating teaching-learning systems in conjunction with the various people involved in the local socio-economic context (cultural associations, SMEs, etc.) in order to open the school to the outside world and offer its students the opportunity to be full, active and responsible citizens.For them, enabling teams of teachers and their students to become involved in an Erasmus+ project is an opportunity to develop the basic skills targeted for each of them, enriching the teachers' pedagogical baggage through the sharing and co-construction of good practices while giving meaning to the pupils' learning, which makes it possible to generate greater motivation and therefore involvement, particularly, as far as we are concerned here, in science, technology and even engineering. The project has a ten or so educational professionals, involved and/or accompanying, managers and teachers from professional practice or general courses included and about twenty students from the two schools, in sections related to maintenance and industrial services (electricity and automation centers) as well as applied sciences (industrial chemistry-biochemistry).Our objectives articulate two dimensions, pedagogical and cultural, rooting the theme of the project in the Italian tradition of olive oil soap making:1) To create an industrial process of saponification from olive oil based on a multidisciplinary collaboration between different sections from the world of industry and science. The Process must meet strict specifications in line with safety standards, good laboratory practices and European consumer protection standards. 2) To discover our respective cultural and industrial heritage and to share our representations in order to enrich this process with the experience, research and reflection of each one.3) To develop the language skills in technical English as well as the entrepreneurial skills (softkills) of the members involved. We intend to achieve this through various activities, the methodological principle of which is the technological challenge:1) A technological challenge is given to the teams of the two countries for the creation of the Process.2) The teams are organizing themselves internally to suggest technical solutions articulating the expertise of the different sections involved.3) Video-conferences between Belgium and Italy allow us to discuss in English (additional courses planned) our respective strategies, processes, difficulties and results in order to put into perspective our different know-how with a view to developing our respective projects.4) Mobility is part of this dynamic: - The Belgian team will be able to develop and extend its representations regarding the artisanal manufacture of soap, from the olive harvest to its transformation into raw material usable in the Process, through the visit of craftsmen and companies.- The Italian team will be able to complete its representations of industrial soap making by visiting Belgian companies but also by a training in CAT (Centre of Advanced Technologies) dedicated to the manufacture of an aroma.- Co-development sessions organised in class during the exchanges will enable these elements to be integrated with a view to developing the respective projects.- The two teams will be able to immerse themselves more widely in the respective heritages through cultural visits and more informal activities to be defined in consultation with the students.In fine, here are the expected results:- Each school presents a process corresponding to the specifications that each will have defined according to its own constraints, but in accordance with European standards. If this is not the case, the teams are then able to analyse the reasons for this and define ways of improvement.- The results are formulated and shared through different channels, such as through eTwinning.- Learners spontaneously respect good laboratory practices and safety rules.- Learners are able to communicate in English using a French-English-Italian glossary.- A positive impact is measured on learners' motivation, engagement, initiative and teamwork skills.- The teams are proud and have enjoyed participating.- Participants have gained confidence and are able to be both enterprising and entrepreneurial.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)"
