Kaliningrad, the capital of the fourth Baltic state

Kaliningrad, the capital of the fourth Baltic state

Numerous pictures show that Konigsberg until 1945 (that was the name under German rule) was one of the most fascinating cities in Europe.

After the Second World War and the destruction of all traces Germany by the Russians, con progetti architettonici sbagliati hanno convertito Kalingrado in una città poco interessante.

Nel 1701 venne incoronato nella città il primo re di Prussia e la città ha passato 700 anni di storia prussiana fino al 1945 quando fu occupata dai russi che uccisero moltissimi dei residenti tedeschi (i sopravissuti furono mandati in Siberia) in una delle campagne di pulizia etnica più effettive d’Europa.

La città fu ribattezzata Kalingrado il 4 Luglio del 1946 in onore di Mijail Kalinin, uno dei seguaci di Stalin.

Ultimamente si sta discutendo sull’emarginazione da parte della Russia verso Kalingrado (poche volte incluso nelle mappe) e la creazione di un quarto stato baltico ma i processi sono molto difficili dato che la Russia non cederà mai un territorio con la miniera più grande al mondo di ambra e una zona militare sul mar baltico.

My Period Was Due Today

Us .....

The following is an extract from the Journal article reported "YOUNG ITALY NEWS".

".... the Association has undertaken, successfully, earlier this year, an environmental education activities, entitled "farm", with several elementary and middle school site in the town of Palermo.

substantial Justification of the project is the basic idea that the educational activity is required to increase young people behave responsibly towards the environment, heritage of all humanity, from the individual contexts of life and relationship: classroom space, with the city, up to space in the world.

Very often, pupils show lack of attention to environmental issues because they reveal deep "gaps" on the issue: many, for example, think that the farmer has a grandfather busy, friendly and caring, that oranges , olives and bananas grow in the United Kingdom, peaches in Finland, that cotton comes from the sheep, the chicken has four legs, which are more candy, the garden is in supermarket.

The farm becomes, in this sense, a "great outdoor laboratory" where you can combine learning the theoretical to the practical (Confucius said: "If I hear I forget, if I remember where I learned" ), directing the children to a reality, not agricultural, which contains a great asset not only production, but also cultural, social, food and traditions and that, comparing the experience of the farmer with the curiosity of the students, creating a stimulating interaction.

know the information to agricultural, animal life, crafts and applied techniques for the production of foods of Sicily, means: enhance the relationship between town and country, bringing students to the cultural, historical, environmental and production in rural areas, deepen the bond between the environment, land, food, health, stress the importance of respect environment, to discover the rural environment and agricultural activities, and strengthen the relationship between agriculture and the school.

We believe, in conclusion, that to know the local area, an example of pristine natural heritage, is a great way to encourage ethical and environmentally friendly behavior among young people who may have a positive impact on reducing the causes of environmental pollution. "

President
