“TOLERANCE as a Key to Social Integration Into European Dimension for Young Citizens” - “ Adopting... grandparents and grandchildren”

During our discussions about “Tolerance” and what it is to be tolerant, our Comenius students concluded that a great percentage of elderly people are living in "social isolation”, sometimes even at risk of abuse or neglect. So, determined to help older people, who have never had families, have outlived them or just can't possibly be in touch with them, some of the Comenius students visited an elderly care home.

During this visit, we shared experiences, listened to special personal histories,  built bonds which will endure in time... and we promised to go back for more visits!
