Last week was an opportunity for students to mix cultures through the Comenius program. Over the course of the week, the students presented their school, made art projects together, visited sites in Rome like the Vatican and Colosseum, went shopping, and received certificates before saying emotional goodbyes at the airport. The week allowed for friendships to form between students from different countries through shared experiences.

1. Dear diary,
Last week was very fun and it was an opportunity to mix our different
cultures.
The first day when we met the foreigners it was very exciting especially
for the pupils who already
went to the first two
meetings in Turkey and in
Spain. At the first time
we were shy with our
Comenius friends
After 1 day we made
friendship with our
Comenius friends.
On Tuesday we presented our school to our new friends and after we did a
little theatre show : Pinocchio. For lunch we made a big buffet and it was
very delicious
On Wednesday we went to Castel Porziano and we made some artworks
with sticks, leaves , rocks, pinecones and grass.
The next day we went to Vatican City. We visited the museum gallery,
Cappella Sistina and we ate outside.
And for finishing the day we ate a very good ice cream.
On Friday we had a tour of Rome and we visited many monuments such as
Colosseum Fori Imperiali Campidoglio and Fontana of Trevi .

2. And in the afternoon we went shopping and we bought souvenirs . In the
evening we went to teachers’ hotel (Aris Garden hotel) where we received
Comenius certificates to congratulate us for participating in the project
Comenius
The following day, in the morning Latvian girls left Italy
And with the rest of the Comenius friends went to Ostia Antica.
In Ostia we visited the forum an o the port of Ostia where we played
outside with “the ice.” And the auditorium .
Sunday was the greeting’s day.
In the morning we brought our friends to the airport for their departure
moment. It was very emotional.
But we will continued to write to them forever.
And we will bring in our heart forever this beautiful experience.
Lots of love,
Istituto Aristide Leonori.
