WHAT IS A COMENIUS PROJECT?

Multilateral Comenius school partnerships are cross-curricular projects that involve at least three schools or colleges from at least three European countries. They enable staff and students to work together with partners in other Comenius eligible countries for the duration of the two year partnership.

In addition to learning more about other cultures and gaining an insight into other teaching practices, participating staff report increased enthusiasm and motivation from colleagues and children alike, often resulting in raised standards across the curriculum.

The benefits to the school include valuable opportunities for staff and students to work together, develop focused approaches to problem-solving, and build pedagogical programmes. Pupils and students also have the possibility of visiting their partner institutions through the funding available.

The theme that students from Barcelona, Berlin, Cagliari and Rome are explored, contains aspects of history, urban development, architecture, social change in the districts and the city centre as well as mobility and sustainability.Hence the project promotes a conscious experience of urban space and the intercultural dialogue while carrying out on-site research. Through a European exchange different city structures are explored and compared so that the students not only get to know different city structures but they also analyze their own urban background and build up a critical view on it. Developing a common idea of a “European city of the future” allows the students to relate their own opinions and ideas to ideas and values of others.

ROME: URBAN DEVELOPMENT - PAST

RomanAge According to legend

Rome was founded in 753 BC on seven hills. The greatest urban and

monumental development occurred under the

Empire.

Middle AgesAfter the fall of the Holy Roman Empire the city headed towards

decline. Depopulation and abandonment greatly reduced the

number of inhabitants who concentrated near the river banks.

Reign of PopesIn 15th -17th centuries Rome regained some of its former lustre thanks

to the papacy. Many popes engaged in

improving the city as a mark of their power.

Fascism (1922-1945)Important additions were made: Via dell'Impero (now Via dei Fori Imperiali), Via della Conciliazione in front of S.Peter’s (most of the old Borgo was destroyed), new districts ( EUR, Cinecittà and, on the coast, Ostia).

2nd Half of 20th centuryRome hosted the 1960 Olympics.Many new structures were created, a new Olympic Stadium, the Olimpic Village to host athletes later redeveloped as a residential districts.

Italian unification (1880–1910)

After the unification Rome became the capital of Italy. This implied a proper urban

revolution. New public buildings were made such as Palazzo di Giustizia and the Altare della Patria with the

unknown soldier.
