Multicultural experience

This morning we hosted some Finnish students from Kallion Lukio, Helsinki (Finland) during our Latin lesson about Virgilius’s “Aeneid”, one of the most important poems of the Latin literature. Initially we read the text, then we explained the plot, the characters and the importance of Fate. The Finnish students told us that there were some common features with the “Aeneid” and “Kalevala”, their national poem.

We were very excited for the results achieved in such a short time and for the new approach to comparative literature. This multicultural experience has been very interesting, engaging and useful to develop new skills, so we hope to have more opportunities in future.
