For a long time the Municipality of Bologna has been organizing international exchanges between classes during the school year and holiday courses abroad in the summer:
>> to help young people to develop their knowledge of other countries' languages und cultures,
>> to encourage solidarity and friendship between different people,
>> to develop a culture for peace.
A growing number of young people, accompanied by their teachers, live these educational experiences each year, in many European and non-European countries. The Municipality of Bologna will be glad to receive any proposal from local authorities, schools and from anyone interested in developing these experiences.
