[...] With the seventeenth century it is stated an explicitly epistemological and socially engaged model of pedagogy, represented, especially in the North European area, where the cultural and political ideals of the Middle Ages are most observed, especially by
Comenius and his collaborators, who elaborate an idea of universal education nourished by philosophical and political-religious strong ideals.
The project was planned and on the theme of 'Happiness' the teams will compile a movie over the space of the next year that will be edited and shown as part of the final
Comenius visit to Barcelona.
The school is currently linked with France, Poland, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Spain, Italy and Norway in a
Comenius project.
Hoole's
Comenius was translated from German, as many of the early children's books were, in 1705.
The early writings and teachings of
Comenius, Locke and Rousseau set the stage for discourse and theories on how to best raise and educate young children.
This was precisely
Comenius's own promising educational beginning, but he eventually lost his wife, child, position, and hope of a stable life in the cauldron of the Thirty Years' War, finding refuge in exile in Poland's Leszno community until its destruction n 1656.
The project is part of the European funded strategy,
Comenius, which unites teachers and students from different countries, in order to promote cultural diversity, exchange ideas and create an international community.
