PRESENTATION

This blog will try to show all activities implemented in our Comenius Project: COME ON

The aim of this project is mainly to focus on a cultural and personal enrichment between participants, both  through the knowledge of two different situations in two different countries and to promote:
- An eagerness to learn and to know new realities and new languages, to look inside oneself to avoid prejudice.
- Mutual respect and mutual knowledge of values, traditions, cultural heritage, geography, of our history and environment.
- To consolidate whatever can join us and to enhance whatever can make us different.
- To open new perspectives based  on human relationships, partnership, affection and tolerance.
- To sum up, we are talking about learning a foreign language by means of an interactive methodology based on out-of-school cultural and playful activities and the use of new technologies. The proposed topics coincide with the ones treated in the school curriculum. That way students can put into practice the concepts learnt in class. At the same time as our students learn in a practical effective way, they will develop tolerance and respect toward other peoples, cultures and values, They will have the opportunity to create new friendships among teenagers with common ideals, to develop communication skills using information technology and promoting the study of foreign languages.
Teacher participation in this Comenius project , on the other hand, will lead to consolidating the contribution made by lifelong learning to social cohesion and  intercultural dialogue, increasing the teaching quality to the benefit of the students.
