I studied Renaissance art history and culture in Florence. During the course, I was fully satisfied with the instructor's professional preparation and the organized programs. In addition to the theoretical material, we also visited many museums and Renaissance attractions, so our practical knowledge was also expanded.

The course Reinassance art in Florence provided me with wide knowledge about art and society in the years 1300-1500 in Italy. The lessons were very well coordinated with cultural visits to the most representative artistic places in the city. All this new knowledge can be used as a tool to improve my students foreign language knowledge if applied to specific activities and contexts. The course was well structured and the provider and teacher showed a great knowledge on the topic. They were always ready to help and eager to teach.

As a Art teacher, boosting my knowledge of the Italian Renaissance was essential to my lessons. The opportunity of exchange teaching experiences with other European teachers is the best way to improve our professional skills. The huge Italian heritage help us to understand the importance of learning and sharing Europeans values trough our students to reinforce the European core. The high quality lectures inspire me to create more practical lessons through innovative methodologies like the visual thinking and the blended learning. Working with small groups of teachers help me to exchange experience and discuss comparing diiferrent National curriculum and their own particular characteristics in order to adapt the most significative strengths to my professional context. To sum up, thanks to the European support, Erasmus plus programs pave the way for a new way of teaching and learning that cross the National borders and boost the European citizenship in a particular complex context like the one are we living today. Common heritage and social cultural partnership is essential to avoid conflicts and open new perspectives of peace and international relations.
