Jan Amos Komenský alias Coménius
|
COMENIUS is the latinized name of the Czech educational reformer
and Prostestant theologian Jan Amos Komensky (1592-1670).
Last bishop of the old Moravian church (from 1632). Didactica Magna
(1628-1632) was his best-knwon work.
He advocated teaching in the vernacular instead of Latin and favoured a
universal system open to women as well as men.
His Visible World (1658) was probably the first children's picture book.

What is the Coménius Project ?
|
Working for a multilateral Comenius project is a real group work, not
only with different European partners, but also in each single national group.
The first step is meeting other European partners in their own countries and schools:
it is a stimulating direct comparison
with foreign realities even from a human and interpersonal point of view.
The following step is considering the results reached and stating the common targets between the meetings.
The last step is teachers'class work in every country: spreading Comenius ideas and carrying out
techniques and methodologies in order to optimize every school teaching environment, with particular regard to the problems connected with exile. |
Objectives of the partnership
- To compare the views and see noticable changes in the behavior of the students.
- To make student aware of the necessity to combat racism and xenophobia, to be able to live with each other and learn from their differences.
- To develop the knowledge of migration phenomenon and its impact at European national and local level, economic and political, cultural and psycological, for exile persons, loss of cultural identity.
- To increase the knowledge and understanding of the differences between our cultures and to encourage tolerance and respect for other European and international Nations and cultures.
- To practice foreign languages and to increase the motivation towards language learning.
