Primary school Antoine Pizon, Huriel, France






Primary school Antoine Pizon is a six classes rural school located in the middle of France (Auvergne), in a medieval village called Huriel. Children are from 6 to 11 years old. There are 144 pupils and 6 teachers.








It’s the first time the school is involved in a Comenius project and it’s very important for pupils to learn how to become European citizens, to exchange with other European peers and to discover different cultures through an "Amazing adventure”.








As the Comenius project deals with European citizenship, we have chosen to present a local famous French female writer, George Sand, who struggled for freedom and women’s civil rights in the nineteenth century.









Coordinators: FLorence Sérange and Jérôme
