3. 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

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.

5. 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 Ages
After 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 Popes
In 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.

6. ROME: URBAN DEVELOPMENT - PRESENT
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.
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 century
Rome hosted the 1960 Olympics.Many new
6
structures were created, a new Olympic
Stadium, the Olimpic Village to host athletes
later redeveloped as a residential districts.
