A propósito do Projeto Comenius
2010-2012, no qual o nosso Agrupamento participou conjuntamente com escolas de
outros países, nomeadamente da Alemanha, Bulgária, Grécia, Lituânia, Roménia e
Turquia, o professor Wolfgang Reich da delegação alemã teceu vários elogios ao
nosso país na sua página da web, num texto que a seguir transcrevemos.
Este texto foi redigido na
sequência da última etapa que se realizou em Portugal entre os dias 29 de abril
e 4 de maio.
Portugal, a country somewhere on the fringe of Europe. Everybody knows
about Spain, France, etc. but Portugal seems to be just another country for a
good value holiday, doesn‘t it?
It‘s so much more than that and you should - by all means - brace
yourself when taking that ride! Once that ‘thing‘ gets hold of your heart you
won‘t be released easily. You can‘t help but taking it all in and it just
doesn‘t wear off like the other wonderful memories you‘d collect on a fabulous
trip which make you go like: “Yes, I‘d love to come back.“ No, it‘s: “I just
cannot leave like that!“ The ‘thing‘ is called fado, or saudade respectively.
The fado-music would be the closest thing to it but it‘s more than that
- sweeps you off your feet and goes swaying about with you. ‘Saudade‘ is the
notion at the heart of Fado and Portugal. And once you‘re in, there seems to be
no way out anymore. Your only hope is to either keep riding or to leave and
wait until it lets go of you. There‘s just only one beautiful way of being
decently devastated: saudade.”
