The Czech philosofer, Jan Amos Komensky or Comenius, as he is often called, was a modern man in his time. Of course, a bit too modern for the 17th century and that is why he was often discriminated and lived in died in exile. He wanted to make education possible for everyone not just the elit and he wanted to improve society and put an end to war through dialogue between nations. Today we strive to make this come true.

The main objective of our Comenius project EUROFOLK that we began three years ago with partner schools from Poland, Malta, Italy, Spain and Slovenia was to get a closer look at less known cultures and languages and to look at discrimination face to face and try to do away with it. We realize that we are all different and that the only way to live together in a United Europe is to respect these differences and be tolerant of other nations.

The FESTIVAL OF PLAYS which took place at the last project meeting in Italy from the 4th – 11th May, 2006 is the result of our three years of collaboration.

The plays prepared and presented by our students are only fairy tales and legends….but they are very important, because they hide discrimination within and bring an important message to everyone.

SPAIN: The Legend of the 'bora' (Italian play)
MALTA: The Legend of Erazem (Slovenian play)
