Abstract: Abstract The Italian research comprised two parts. A first initial observation period in January and February 2012 was carried out in the two (by that time Grade IV) classes participating in the project. The second part of the research was characterized by weekly Change Laboratory work-shops, and spanned from the end of August to the end of October 2012. During this period, 13 Grade V students in two surveying classes under-took two months’ block work experience. They were divided into four groups and sent to the local government or to private builders. In the public sector, three students went to the local government “streets sector”, while another three went to “buildings maintenance”. Both offices were located in the city centre. In the private sector, four students undertook work experience at a local small construction cooperative and another four went to a private constructor. The relevant headquarters were located in the suburbs. Both in the public and private sector, the building sites where students were learning were scattered around Lombardy, Emilia Romagna and Veneto. This did not represent a problem, as students were able to travel by car with their mentors. These employers were found by the two construction teachers of the classes involved in the research thanks to their relationships with local building companies.1
