SUMMARY:International Women's Rights Day
DESCRIPTION:The seventh art serves to commemorate both the social\, economic\, and political achievements and the discrimination and violence that women have faced—and continue to face—all over the world. Schools will participate in a film screening and content-based learning session with a film expert to reflect together on the fight against discrimination and violence\, the right to equal pay\, self-determination\, and the challenges that often characterize relationships among women. Schools are participating through the Provincial Education Office of Abruzzo.\nELEMENTARY SCHOOL: BLUEY SEASON 2 Episode 50 Baby Race (2020)\nMom (Chilli) tells Bluey and Bingo about when they were puppies. The memory focuses on the competition among parents to see which of the babies would walk first\, with Bluey learning to roll over first\, but her friend Judo learning to crawl first. The episode explores the theme of not comparing oneself to others and accepting each child’s own pace of growth\, with a touching ending in which Mom realizes that Bluey learned to walk when she was ready\, celebrating her unique way of learning.\nLOWER SECONDARY SCHOOL: MARGHERITA DELLE STELLE by Giulio Base (Italy\, 2024)\nA biographical film that traces the life of astrophysicist Margherita Hack\, from her curious childhood to becoming the first woman to direct the Trieste Astronomical Observatory\, celebrating her empowerment and her love of science.\nHIGH SCHOOL: THE GIRL WITH THE GUN by Mario Monicelli (Italy\, 1968)\nAn Italian comedy following Assunta Patanè\, a young Sicilian woman dishonored by the seducer\nVincenzo Macaluso (Carlo Giuffré)\, who flees to Great Britain. Armed with a gun\, Assunta pursues the man all the way to London and Scotland\, transforming herself from a traditional victim into a modern\, emancipated\, and free woman\, radically changing her mindset.

A night of celebration marking the end of the war turns into the beginning of a tragedy for little Egea Haffner: men in uniform take her father away and throw him into a foiba.
