COMENIUS SCHOOLS’ HM Liceo Ginnasio Statale “Q. Orazio Flacco”. BARI Our HM, Antonio d’Itollo, promotes learning initiatives in a European dimension. That’s why he especially appreciates the Comenius project that give our pupils the opportunity to meet people from other countries and improve their English. Moreover it combines a traditional language like Latin with multimedia technology. Our school focuses on tradition and innovation, as they aim to demonstrate the importance of antiquity in contemporary life. The wish is that the cooperation among the schools involved in this Comenius project can be successful. Liceo Statale “G. Lombardo Radice”, CATANIA Our HM Pietrina Paladino thinks that the Comenius Project is really interesting because it projects our students towards Europe. Thanks to it they will improve their communicative competence and learn web 2 tools. They will be able to visit and explore countries where their partner friends live. Through it they will hopefully investigate our common Latin root to rediscover the precious link between our past and present, becoming aware of their European Citizenship. She Mehmet Celikel Lisesi, ZONGULDAK The destiny of a school depends on the captain who mans it.The same is true for the school.Its success and failure depends upon the Headmaster.Hasan Koca has been our Headmaster since 2011.He had been working as a teacher of English before he was appointed as the HM 25 years ago.He is married with two children and a granddaughter.He is interested in curricular activities such as games,dramas,debates and lectures. He believes in strict discipline and good manners. I.E.S. Vegas Bajas, MONTIJO Our headmaster is José Luis Pérez Romero, a middle-aged man who has lived in Montijo for all his life. Jose Luis has been working in the institute for more than ten years and he likes his job very much Jose Luis organizes lots of activities for the institute and he has created with some students our personal channel: “Vegas Bajas Channel” where they broadcast programmes, interviews about significant issues for our institute. He is also a music teacher and he has received some prizes in Extremadura. Licée Benjamin Franklin, AURAY Our Comenius project is important for three main reasons. It gives the opportunity of meeting people from other countries to generate common learning initiatives and links Antiquity and contemporary life. It also incites our educational team and the staff to be efficient in the communication. It is a challenge. Our school focuses on every student’s success. Our students are not townspeople, so they have to trust themselves, in order to study and work later far away. It is necessary to get all opportunities for their career. I hope the project will give good results. 3
