Orbis Pictus

J A Comenius in the Library in Szarosz Patak
Today we decided to visit local museum and school, where J.A. Comenius used to teach, and where he wrote the book Orbis Pictus Sensualis, . The exposition was rather sparse concerning his importance, but it represents basic attitudes to theme of letters, but also use of multimedia as didactic and communicative environment. Definitely inspiring and challenging visit!

We had to devote certain time to finalisation and uploading of our web pages, including the blog, which is still more simple tool to operate….surprisingly it was not easy to find internet connection in this city with university, finally there was one, in the local touristic youth cultural house, in the shape of frog, sitting on the spring, hiding several chaps, chatting…

Stanislav, as one of the brave, was the hero, who created our blog, so that we are able every day to let you know what is going on. Many thanks to him! We have tried to define together the categories for digital interactive data archive, which we are going to use as communication environment in communities.

Easy going passing through Romanian borders belonged to the pleasant experienes. City of Satu Mare stepped out of the night, but it was not feeling really open, Therefore we left the city in the light of lams and let ourselves draw into darkness of unknown, which ended by orthodox monastery, in the middle of the forest, still under the construction, originally decided to sleep in the cars, but suddenly invited to come inside by brother Ovidio, nearly waiting for our coming invited us inside. Unfinished building, of this new sacred place, lit by moon and neon light, welcomed our adventurous group with open heart.
