Lutherans. “I learn what I live”

The project of the Lutheran Evangelical Church in Italy for schools, is in progress in  Rome and in Trieste

Rome (NEV), December 5, 2018 – “The Lutheran Church believes in the values of integration and contrast to injustice and to all forms of violence and has therefore welcomed this project with enthusiasm. Thanks to CELI “I learn what I live” is offered free to schools, allowing access to this experience also to the institutes with less funds”, declared Daniela Barbuscia, in charge of the diaconate department  of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Italy (CELI). “Aim of the project – explained Barbuscia – is to educate students and their families, to respect other persons as individual different from oneself and to consider this diversity a source of wealth”.
The project, promoted and implemented by CELI,  is realized in collaboration with the non-profit association “Bimbo Aquilone”, born in Puglia in 1996 to implement projects for the protection of childhood.

The program is realized through seven “one-hour” lessons per month for students, and three meetings for teachers and parents in order to implement an active involvement of families. Topics will be dealt with by professionals skilled in educational projects for children, lawyers, journalists, medical doctors.

I learn what I live” is at its third year of experience. It started in Rome in a school of 500 students, continued in Torre del Greco (Naples) and now is in Trieste and Rome in eight schools for a total of 700 students.
