Project "Comenius"

Project "Comenius" is something that C.E.I.P Blas Infante is working on implementing into their program. They are working with schools in five other countries in Europe, (one is the Czech Republic) to orchestrate a "pen-pal" sort of system. The students allowed to participate are ages 6-11. The schools must apply for the project using a "preparatory visit grant." The goal of the project is to talk about traidtions, festivals, and holidays in each country so that children know more about their European neighbors. Although we did not learn much about this project I think it is such a great idea and I am really looking forward to helping out with it and possibly even giving them contacts in the US so that they can become pen-pals with Americans.
