Comenius: "Let's Travel!" Tourism, Another Way of Learning

A trip to the Paleo-Christian Basilicas of Menorca (Spain)

2012-02-28T20:41:00.006+01:00

an example of historic and religious tourism

1. What are the characteristics of this type of tourism?

Menorca is one of the Balearic Islands, located in the Mediterranean Sea, belonging to Spain. It takes its name from being smaller than the nearby island of Majorca. Menorca is mainly visited as a touristic sun & beach destination, but it's worth a historic and religious trip to discover the numerous archaeological sites, and among thouse, the Paleochristian remains.

Why? Because plus the well known Taulas and Talaiots, witnesses of the Prehistoric times, Menorca is an exceptional case in regard to the Early Christian Period. Five old basilicas have been found in Menorca: Illa del Rei, Illa d’en Colom, Fornàs de Torelló, Son Bou and Cap des Port in Fornells. Another possible one has been recently discovered in Ciutadella.

If you want more information about these sites, please watch to our video:

2. What should there be in the bag of the traveler performing this trip?

If you are in Menorca and you decide to take a trip to the main early Christian archaeological sites, you won’t need to pack lots of things in your bag. All these sites are easy to get by car, and none of them is far from a town or village. Just take a map of Menorca, and don’t forget a video or photo camera. Take a bottle of water, and a hat especially if you take the trip in summertime.

3. How can transportation be provided for this trip?

The fastest way to visit all the Paleochristian places is a private or hired car. But some places are very easy to get by walking, or by public transport (bus):

a) Son Bou: There is a regular bus from Maó and Alaior. Just check the timetable at www.tib.caib.es before your trip. The site is on the beach.

b) Es Fornàs de Torelló: You can go by walking from Maó or the small village of Sant Climent: A 30 min. walk from the center of Maó.

c) Illa del Rei: Ask for information in the ‘Club Marítim’, Port of Maó: every weekend there is a boat (free or very cheap) to transport visitors to the island.

d) Cap des Port: A 45 min. walk from the village of Fornells.

4. Where can the traveler accomodate during this trip?

Whether you take this trip in one day, as if you divide it in different excursions, you can go and back from the place where you stay in. Menorca is a small island, so the distances are not so long.

5. How long does this trip last? (Minimum time-day)

If you have your own car, you can complete the trip in one day. If you go by public transport or by walking, you’ll need half a day for each visit.

6. How much money is needed for this trip? (minimum)

You don’t need money to visit any of these sites. All of them are free. You’ll only have to pay 3,00€ if you visit the Museum of Menorca, in Maó, where you can see some of the pieces discovered in the paleochristian sites.

7. Why should a traveler do this trip? What will the traveler’s benefit be?

Menorca is an exceptional case, in regard to the paleochristian period, both because of the number of churches or basilicas discovered and because of the written documents dating from this period which have reached us today.

When in the Roman world the free practice of Christianity was permitted, suitable buildings celebrate its cult had to be build. Christianity extended throughout North Africa, eventually reaching the Belearic Islands, especially Menorca: in fact the paleochristian basilica at Son Bou has all the architectural features necessary to make it a “text-book” example of this type of church.

HATAY and CHRİSTİANİTY(Interview with Pater Yasea)

2012-02-10T09:40:00.000+01:00

HATAY and CHRİSTİANİTY

u Introducing the person:

Yasea

u Pater:

Padri Edvardo

u Place:

Orthodox church

They believe that God is in theshape of human being. The idea that Jesus is immortal can be explained as inthe follow ing :

As we know God is immortal.Theybelieve that Jesus was the breath of God. The breath itself is immortal so thatJesus is immortal. Because of that reason people call Jesus as the son of God.The holly book 'bible' is infect a single book. However four people rewrote thebook according to their own ideas in different places. And thus there beingfour sects.In the first place they say that there were many common points withMuslims, but later christianity differed from İslam. For instance theysacrificed animals for God.

Butlater They thought that Jesus was himself sacrificed for all people and viatheir sins were all forgiven. They believe that from then on there were notneed to sacrifice animals for God. And they stopped this tradition. There's aplace for confession near the Pope's armchair in there right of the Church.There is a painting for happines on the wall over the Meryem Ana's place. Thereis a special place for their wishes. It is near the confession place. Thestatue of Meryem Ana is in the middle in Church and everybody can see heresily.

MERYEM ANA

The worldexperienced disasters because of the World War I in 1917. Every family facedpain in those years. During these years Meryem Ana appeared for the first timeto three children whose names are Lucia,Giacinta and Francesco in Fatima cityof Portugal on 13 May 1917. The eldest of the Lucia explains Meryem Ana'sappereance as in the following :

She was a lady who had worn brighterclothes than the sun. She was shining more intensely than a crystal glass ofwater filled with pure water through which sunshine passed.

LOVE İN CHRİSTİANİTY

Love is a very important and goodthing. You can endure the difficulties of life by the help of love. You don'tfeel the burden of life and it turns the most painful things into a pleasure.Love is generous, it helps people to great achievements and encourages us forthe better things. Love without surrounding the valueless things would like tobe over all the things. Neither in the heaven nor in the world you can't seesomething, better than, stronger than, more common than love. A person wholoves lives a happy life, he or she is free from every worry and nothing canstop them. Love has any good thing you can see around. Because love trust theGod from whom all the good and holly things come from.

CHRİSTİANİTY FRİENDSHİP

A poem about friendship

You have a friend

When everything goes wrong

When you need love and interest

When you feel bad

Close your eyes and think aboutme

To enlighten your darkest night

İmmediately I come beside you,just call me

Know that wherever I am

I come to you running

Winter, spring, summer and fall

Whenever you want, call me

I will be there

I’m your companion

If the sky gets dark and fillswith clouds

North winds begins to blow

Keep your mind on and call me

I will come to you

(Carole KİNG you’ve gota friend )

Cala Pregonda - Menorca - Balearic Islands

2011-11-13T23:37:00.005+01:00

I will describe a special place for me: Pregonda. It is a beach in Es Mercadal, in Menorca. I like to be there because it is very relaxing, like a paradise. When you are there, you can forget everything and be happy with all the nature around you. It is the most beautiful and peaceful place you could ever see in the world.

To arrive at this beach, you have to leave your car at a previous beach called Binimel·là. You have to walk for about twenty minutes until you arrive at Pregondó which is very close to Pregonda. To get to Pregonda from Pregondó you have to walk for about five more minutes. Walking is worth it when you arrive there but you can also get there by bike.

This beach has some little islands in front. The sand is thick and depending on where you are, it can be a little bit reddish. There are also three houses and one of them is camouflaged by the surrounding rocks.

For me, the best season to visit is in winter. I occasionally go there when I want to feel free, as it was my own place. It is extremely quiet and completely deserted. You can smell the happiness and feel how time stops.

To conclude, if I were you and if I had the chance, I would definitely go there and have a rest forgetting the world.

Hello, I’m May-Lee and I was born in Chon Buri/Thailand. When I was three years old, my family and I moved to Flensburg. My mum comes from Thailand but my dad is German. I’m 15 years old, 1.70m tall and I have brown eyes and hair. I like to do sports, like soccer, handball and other stuff. I also like to meet my friends and to go in the cinema or something else. My dad and I like to travel around the world. I was in Egypt, Spain, Thailand, Italy, China and Turkey. The most I like is Thailand, because it’s my home country. The best part about the trips is that I get to know the different cultures and meet new people. I love to laugh with my friends and to do nonsense with them.

Sven (from Flensburg) travelling to Poland

2011-10-15T10:51:00.003+02:00

Hello, I’m Sven Gebhardt. I was born in Witzenhausen in 1995. Witzenhausen is a small town in the middle of Germany, near the city of Kassel. Now I live in Flensburg in the north of Germany on the border to Denmark. Flensburg is a little town with a very bad winter service and no money. I like either “Örtte Pepparmynta” that is a mint tea that comes from Sweden or I drink mineral water.I like sports, for example bike riding on ice and snow, but also very, very fast in summer. Perhaps you like bike riding on ice and snow, too or in summer very fast. My teachers are normally nice, but I don’t understand grammar although the teacher explains it, but the teacher is innocent. I like trees and plants very much. I have ivy in my room in the house. I like holidays in Sweden very much. If it is possible I will live in Sweden later.

Calendar's Presentation

2011-09-19T22:50:00.001+02:00

Our Calendar “Let’s Travel 2012!” is a mosaic of the European variety. It possesses the multicoloured creativity of Italian artists from Umbria, and the strength and precision of Portuguese artisans’ hands. It contains the force of fortified castle walls in Poland. It releases the flavour of a fresh croissant in a Parisian café and the smell of spices in a Turkish bazaar. It tastes like the rum made of brown sugar canes imported from the Caribbean Sea to a north German harbour. It beats according to the rhythm of breaking waves against the island’s cliffs crowned by a Mediterranean light house.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Madonne e Messeri che in Foligno vivete o dentro le mura o fuori per le campagne amene, udite!
Dame superbe in preziosi broccati coi lor sorrisi alle genti intorno,
e scintillar di lance e di cruenti sproni e saettar di focosi destrieri
e lor nitrire nel divorar lo spazio e gran virtute de’ cavalieri eletti
e nembi di polve e volitar di piume e grida e gioia et urla di Vittoria,
ecco vi attendono al Campo de li Giochi, nel corruscar del Vespro settembrino!
Ecco tra Voi rinnovellata torna la tenzone della virtute e de l’honore che in premio porge,
al più bravo tra i bravi de’ cavalieri vostri in campo, prezioso palio e sorriso di Madonna illustre.
Qual de’ Rioni appagherà il desio di tòr di mano al Cavalier Vincitore il lauro cinto in ultima tenzone.
Ciascun de’ cavalieri nel maneggiar di lancia alla corsa furente di veloce destriero l’arma sua drizza alla desiata Vittoria.
E ciascun di Voi ha il cavalier eletto cui Fortuna e Valore daranno il vanto di altissimo honore.
Tutti accorrete e rimirate i prodi!
Tutti scendete ne le Piazze, ne le Vie e nel Campo de li Giochi!
E fate festa a’ cavalieri vostri!
Tutte accorrete, o genti de’ Rioni, tutte accorrete a gioir di Vittoria,
anco se arride altrui, ché la concordia e l’amor de la Cittade tutta
son pur Vittoria e bella e grande!

François, from Paris, travelling to Turkey

2011-09-15T07:21:00.001+02:00

Hello Everyone!

My name is Francois HEANG. I’m from Paris, France.

I'm eighteen years old and I’m an only child.

I’m glad to be in the Comenius program, it lets me discover other countries and cultures. As I talk to you right now, I feel so excited and curious about that trip! I couldn’t even imagine that one day I’m gonna go to Turkey… It’s AMAZING!

So what else can I say? I have cambodian origins and I can speak quite well, I’m also learning how to write it, which is not simple!

What I like to do? I love sports such as football and basketball, even if I’m not good at it. I also like hanging out with my friends outside, Paris is a big city and you have the chance to do lots of things…

That’s about all I can say…

Good Bye and See Ya
