Songs that Move the World

Welcome to the Comenius Blog.

Jan Comenius ( 1592-1671) was a Polish scholar and teacher who gives his name to the EU schools' project which aims to develop among young people and their teachers a knowledge and understanding of the diversity of European languages and cultures and to encourage them to value this diversity.

With the help of Comenius funding, MHSG was able to take part in a three way choral project, Songs that Move the World, with St Ursula Gymnasium, Austria and Lindeskolan, Sweden.

Our Comenius blog tells the story of the first leg of our choral partnership: our trip to Salzburg and Spital am Pyhrn.
