Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2011 Newsletter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The profundity of Knowledge was directly tested by
the Italian eTwinning Ambassadors at the Rimini‘s
Seminar on the 24th-26 of March 2011. While the
Adriatic City gives the better of itself with the beach
under the sun not shaded by the summer visitors,
they, or better, we stayed in the dark underground
assembly rooms of the Continental Hotel, to listen
colleagues bringing us into contact with the last
news about the partnerships on line among the
European Schools or, better again, with a
permanent action-sharing and an order of
knowledge through the eTwinning Platform, the
Learning Events and a use more and more
sophisticated of the same again sophisticated
information technology.
Imagination is generally the prerogative of
childhood, when it is not disturbed, and in fact the
better Art of twentieth-century was inspired by
children‘s drawings (not only Picasso and Mirò), and
perhaps this is the one interesting heritage of that
mad century because it is just Dictators‘ Art, that is
true of course, not that turned into myth by a more
or less ruling class identifying the artist with the
drunken.
While…history with her comrade ale,
Soothes the sad series of her serious tale.
For as this is the liquor of modern historians, nay,
perhaps their muse, if we may believe the opinion
of Butler, who attributes inspiration to ale, it ought
likewise to be the potation of their readers, since
every book ought to be read with the same spirit
and in the same manner as it is writ.
(Henry Fielding, Tom Jones, 1749).
So I remembered a similar situation, found by
chance on my moleskins in the form of a plot to use
to tell to the children an episode of the European
literature:
- ―Luciano in True Story tells us about the Arborei‘s
people eating only smoke and quench with air
squash and, so, don‘t relieve themselves‖ (Cyrano
de Bergerac, L’altro mondo ovvero gli Stati e gli
Imperi della Luna‖ a cura di Pippo Vitiello, Liguori
Editore, Napoli 1984 – translation by the Author);
- In Gargantua e Pantagruel by Françoi ́I
