• C2- Second Transnational Meeting "Religious Buildings" - Morlupo (Italy) 1-7 December 2019

  "RELIGION AND ART HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON:  LOVE"
  
  
  This motto, created by the Italian team, opened the second transnational meeting of the Erasmus+ A.R.C.H. Project 2019-1-EL01-KA229-062454 took place in Morlupo (RM) from the 1st to 7th of December 2019.  And we may say that love moved every single action and event which took place during this meeting.
  On their arrival on 1st December from Fiumicino Airport, the 5 groups composed by 2 teachers and 6 students each, coming from Greece, Hungary, France, Czech Republic and Turkey, were taken by mini vans to Morlupo at Casa S.Gaetano, a residence hostel run by the religious order of the Teatini.
  On 2nd December we all met at the school IIS "Margherita Hack" at the Liceo Scientifico "G. Piazzi" in Morlupo.  After greetings and exchanging gifts, and gladly meeting again some teachers we had already met during the first transnational mobility in Budapest, the Headmistress Mrs Gaetana Iacobone welcomed the groups, who were then taken on a short tour of the school.  After that we proceeded to vote the transnational logo of the project in the school library, and the winner was:  Turkey!
