AN ACCOUNT OF A SIX COUNTRY COLLABORATIVE COMENIUS PROJECT House of Commons committee rooms. This was possible through the mediation of one of Greg Clark’s personal staff, who is a parent at the English school. Following the debate, during which Mr Clark assisted the students in presenting their views in the style of a Westminster debate, the group of 24 young people and their 10 teachers was given a tour of both chambers, including access to a number of rooms normally reserved for senior fi gures in the British establishment. Through their work in Parliament students were able to better understand how ethical issues underpin our societies. They were also able to develop their debating skills considerably – a vital skill for future leaders in society. The last day was spent putting together a student magazine reporting some of the key lessons and experiences, an extract of which follows this article. There was also time for recreation and team building, essential for any successful joint international project, with a music workshop day and a visit to a local curling rink. The final leg of the Comenius project is scheduled to take place in April 2012 in the Netherlands and will take as its theme linguistic diversity, culminating with a young persons’ Model United Nations General Assembly Through their work in Parliament students were able to better understand how ethical issues underpin our societies 14 ESHA MAGAZINE JANUARY 2012
AN ACCOUNT OF A SIX COUNTRY COLLABORATIVE COMENIUS PROJECT Outcomes Of course, one of the key by-products of all these meetings is that students have a much better understanding of different European perspectives not only on the visit theme but also of the issues facing young people across Europe. The social connections made at these conferences help develop a deeper global perspective – and get them thinking beyond the confi nes of their town and country. Moreover, understanding will have increased between young people of different nations, barriers, prejudices and preconceptions broken down, and a small contribution made to building future peace and collaboration in our common European home.
