The Comenius Project is a two-year collaboration between five schools in five countries to learn about their common European roots. Students from each school visit the other schools. The document describes a visit from Wales to Spain, where students introduced their schools and planned future meetings. It provides information about upcoming visits to Wales and opportunities for students to get involved by hosting guests or participating in project topics about identity and music.
