KEEP CALM AND PET THERAPY

KEEP CALM AND PET THERAPY

Jun 15, 2025 | WHO CARES

Keep calm and pet therapy is a very nice project proposed by the Cavanis Institute of Possagno in the province of Treviso.

This is not the first time we are chatting about keep calm with reference to the school, do you remember the teens from Liceo Fanti? 

I tried to contact the Cavanis parish institute but unfortunately got no reply, however their project is published on website. 

The Treccani explains that pet therapy  is an unofficial therapy whereby some psychological or behavioural disorders are cured by focusing the patient’s affection on a small pet: dog, cat, etc.

So keep calm is great, but what about school?

The project took place at the end of classes, from 9 to 12 June, and aimed to combine a reintroduction of the first grade exam, abolished in 2004, with an effective soothing and emotional system such as pet therapy.

Keep calm and pet therapy to face the exam. 

What do you think?

I would like to take this opportunity to extend the discussion to pets in people’s lives more in general. 

More and more often furry quadrupeds flank bipeds in almost every phase of life.

More and more often we to see dogs in prams.

A few weeks ago, Enac extended the possibility of allowing pets weighing over ten kilograms to travel in the cabin.

So why not at school? 

What is your opinion?

THE FIRST TEST

THE FIRST TEST

Jun 24, 2023 | ITALY

The first written test of the final state examination is the same essay for everyone.

And this equality links all candidates with a thread that unites them regardless of the path that led them to that fateful day.

The day of the essay for the so-called maturity.

Those who went to high school, those who chose a technical institute; those who attended Italian classes with predisposition and those who are more into math; those who never had any bad vote and those who were able to catch up.

All of them, all students indiscriminately, find themselves on the same morning sitting on their desks in the common expectation of taking the first written test.

The castle of thoughts regarding the hypothetical topics of the tracks have become “legendary” to the point that more or less all people find themselves reliving the emotions of the hours that mark a crucial moment, a phase that ends by symbolically opening the door to the future.

How did you experience your exam?

Did you suffer through the wait?

Do you still remember what the topic of your paper was?

What was your exam about? What kind of test did it consist of?
