When we started the Comenius Project last September we had a lot of goals to be achieved in mind such as, for example, improving the learning of foreign languages and cultures, promoting a global European citizenship, improving the standard use of ICT, improving the competences in English, sharing good practices, involving the local community in the project, etc.
We certainly hoped our students to become friends with Spanish students and that they would continue being in touch with each other after the exchange, but something more has happened and a more important goal has been achieved: FRIENDSHIP!
In fact at the beginning of August Laurita's family came to Italy to visit Francesco's family. They spent a week together touring Umbria and other important towns and cities nearby and sharing normal life in the village where the Italian family lives. They also met other students who took part in the exchange, other young people and their families.
I had the chance and the pleasure of spending an afternoon with them at Marmore Waterfalls
and I was really happy of realizing our work within this project went far beyond our expectations!
