As a follow-up of the Comenius meeting in Guadeloupe we have started this blog. We are part of a large “Comenius Family” whose members are Policka in Czech Republic, Neustadt in Germany, Bergen in Norway, Mikkeli in Finland, Tanum in Sweden, Pointe Noire in Guadaloupe-France, and our sister town, Salerno in Italy. The The main aim of this project is to really make our students part of a European Classroom through the use ICT-tools. In this way borders and distances disappear and communication becomes easier and more immediate. This blog is a new challenge and we are ready for it.

Conference on Women's Rights


We are working on a project on inter and multi culture and so we took part in a conference on Women's Right. Here, some immigrant women spoke about their experiences. All the stories were different, but each of them, spoke about the difficulties of beginning a new life in a new country, of being accepted and of the courage to go on. They all shared a strong will, motivation and a family to take care of, and this gave them the strength to carry on and succeeded. Racial prejudices shouldn’t exist, because all worthy people should deserve a chance.
At the conference three foreign women were present. One was born in Senegal, one in libano and one in Colombia.
They moved to Triest for several reasons,however,encountered similar difficulties in the integration in italian society.
one of these women is alba Torres. She is a single mother of two children. She moved from Colombia to Triest under pressue of their parents because she had problems with the father of her doughters. Here in Triest she was helped by an aunt, but her life was no easy because she didn't know the language and so she had to attend courses, and in the meantime she had to work. Another problem is that she could see her children and her mother rarely because they were in Colombia and it was difficult to obtain the resident permit.
