Comenius: a new project

We are involved in a new project. It is an european program in which we try to encourage Reading. Our program name is "Reading for travelling through the paths of life" and our partners are: Bulgaria, Hungary, Italy, Romania and Turkey. The program consists of the exchange of experiences among these countries in order to improve Reading encouragement techniques. IES Mediterraneo library won the third prize on a national contest called: "Concurso nacional de buenas prácticas para la dinamización e innovación de las bibliotecas de centros escolares para el año 2007", announced by the Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia.
