To be honest this video was created for another project, that is Magic flight to Benevento, but the webmaster simply couldn't resist to uploading it on this website as wee. And it is about Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, so isn't it an example of "the way were were", after all?

I'm sure you want to see the pictures of the Comenius meeting that was held in Byske, Sweden, don't you?
In the photo published by the Byske newspaper you can see

The video below was developed in a context different from our Comenius project but the wembaster (myself) thought you might like it.
