Contribution to the 67 European competition for module 3.1 "My European viewing window." On April 27, this project was selected as winner in the contest.
Europeans from history and the present are now opening their "European window". In this fictional conversation, boundaries between space and time, myth and reality become blurred. Europe's tasks remain. Old and new songs tell of it: people are looking for peace, home, protection, security and happiness in Europe. In dealing with the narratives of the earliest common European literature (Homers Ilias and Odyssey) and their tradition (Vergils Aeneis), students also develop topics of our modern Europe. The women formulate "what we expect and want from Europe".
Europa in conversation is a Latin text which the students have translated into German, Latin, Engilsh, Spanish and Basque. The pages Music from the Mediterranean (cano), Pictures from the Mediterranean Sea (video), Whishes and demands on Europe (opto et postulo) and Teaching and learning Europe (discere et docere) serve to deepen and supplement them.
Content: Fictional conversation between Europe, the beautiful Helena (occasion of the Trojan War), Penelope (wife of Odysseus), Cleopatra (lover of Iulius Caesar), Britannia and Marianne (allegories of Britain and France), Rhea Silvia (mother of Romulus and Remus), Hersilia (wife of Romulus, the founder of Rome) and finally Angela Merkel (for Germania) who accepts an invitation from Europa.
The Roman writer Virgil reports, literally "sings" in the Aeneid, about the fate of the Trojan refugees. In the first book, she tells of the sea storm that initially brought her to the African coast. - In the context of the text, a collection of songs is created here.
