LEARNING EUROPE

The presentations of the teams participating in the 2

nd
Comenius meeting have
shown us how people in every country have contributed to social, cultural and scientific
life and, of course, will continue to work for humanity. We have understood that although
the results of their activity are both different and similar to one another, the mirrored
remarkable personalities have added a value to the world so as to make it better and more
beautiful.
Culture and science are the milestones of countries. Artists, poets, writers,
musicians, scientists, inventors, engineers, philosophers, architects gave a sense to our
common European roots and tried to improve mankind with their new ideas and dreams.
The step of our proect entitled Learning Europe taught everybody a lot of things
so, at this moment we know more things about our partners! identity than before. We
learned about outstanding aspects of culture and civili"ation that had changed the face of
the world.
We found a lot of links between our cultures. #or e$ample, we are so pleased that
the %omanian musician George Enescu, the Turkish singer Mehmet Bar Mano, the
&talian composer and violinist Antonio Vivaldi, the 'ungarian composer and pianist Bla
Bart and the (ortuguese singer Am!lia "odrigues are still being listened to by millions
of people nowadays.
What is more, poets like #ante from &taly, Mevlana from Turkey, Eminescu from
%omania, Ad$ from 'ungary and the (ortuguese %am&es are famous all over the world.
We knew it, but now we are certain, that, no matter where they lived, the people in
the European )allery of (ersonalities left signs of their passing and now their
achievements and creations are part of the world patrimony. They lived in different
countries, in different historical periods but they are so much our contemporaries that we
could feel their *uintessence alive.
+haring the same values and ideals, we have in common the respect and love for
our history and ancestors, for our customs and traditions, for the remarkable men and
women who, by using their minds and souls, spread the seeds of geniality in science and
arts creating what we can proudly call our ama"ing Europe.
All the famous 'ungarian, &talian, (ortuguese, %omanian and Turkish personalities
, artists and scientist , had only one purpose- to contribute to the progress of humanity, to
make life easier through their inventions and to add a spot of colour, beauty and sensibility
to the world.
