First meeting of the Comenius BACK Project:
Kyrkcaldy, Scotland
These photos are *precious documents*
of the first meeting of the Comenius BACK project.
The Italian, Spanish and German teams have flown to Kirkcaldy, Scotland
to meet their Scottish
partners and discuss the future project developments. The meeting has
also been a great chance for Spanish and German students to meet and
communicate
as real (non virtual!) friends!

At the Leonardo
Da Vinci airport Mr Leo Lombardi remembers the time of his youth...
|
The journey starts: who's afraid of flying? |
Umberto Ficociello reads a newspaper pretending not to be scared. |
 |
 |
 |
| At last we meet our friends: in the photo you can see
Bernd Zinsmeister from Germany and Gabriela
Rodriguez (project coordinator) from Spain. |
First thing we see in Kyrkaldy is a graveyard. Brrrr! |
Leo and Umberto like to appear in photos. |
 |
 |
 |
| From the other side of the camera there is Maria Antonietta Sessa from
Italy who is showing a video about Benevento. In the photo you can
see the Scottish, Spanish and German students. |
German and Spanish students check the information they have got about
Scotland in order to see if their *misconceptions* were ill or well-founded. |
The Scottish student on the left patiently explains to his foreign friends
that the Scots don't wear kilts in their everyday life, as they previously
thought!!! |
 |
 |
 |
| Still Scottish, Spanish and German students working hard
at demolishing cultural clichès. |
The group of Scottish teachers is of great help to the students. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| The Scottish school is really amazing: at the Adam Smith
College they even have a professional radio station. |
The teacher in the photo teaches his pupils how to
make up a radio program. |
Students gather around a table to discuss all kinds of topics, from the
most frivolous to the most serious ones and the debates are broadcasted
as a normal radio program: amazing! |

 |
| Friends: this is the most incredible party
I've ever been! |
Scottish men are incredibly charming: just think of Sean
Connery! |
Also the young love to wear kilts on big events. |
 |
 |
 |
| A visit to a marvellous old garden: Mary queen
of Scots used to play tennis here! |
As usual, young people are our most beautiful flowers! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| A visit to St. Andrew, the most famous golf
field in the world. |
The grounds are dazzling green... |
Enjoy it!!! |
 |
 |
 |
| And finally a trip to the Highlands in search
of Brave Heart! |
|

Our Comenius meeting could only end with the vision of
a true Scottish ghost. See you in Cuenca in March 2007, dear friends!!! |
