A peaceful excursion on the border between Italy and Switzerland

While nowadays the news constantly remind us that a nation’s borders can be the cause of wars, Thursday 28th of April I took an elementary school class to the Mendrisiotto hills and we walked along the border between Italy and Switzerland. The purpose of the trip was to observe how borders and barriers exist first and foremost in our heads. We walked with a foot on Italian territory and the other on Swiss territory, how crazy! (taken by the nursery rhyme published in the book “Matterhorn in a book”)! 😊
