A group of Finnish, Polish and German teachers were in Barga this week as part of an ongoing exchange project Comenius between teachers and schools in Barga.
ABOUT COMENIUS – ‘We are all citizens of one world.’
The Comenius Programme is named after Jan Amos Comenius (1592-1670), often considered the father of modern education.
Comenius is aimed at schools, colleges and local authorities across Europe.
Comenius has two main objectives: to develop knowledge and understanding among young people and education staff of the diversity of European cultures and languages, and the value of this diversity to help young people to acquire basic life skills and competences for their personal development, for future employment and for active European citizenship
After a tour of the city they stopped at Aristo’s for a welcome break and to sample some of the local delicacies and of course – some of the local wine.
