Continuous online reading from the works of John Amos Comenius called "Reading Comenius Universally", which starts on Saturday night, is an original way of commemorating 350 years since this thinker's death. Academics and enthusiasts promised to support this 24-hour initiative by their reading. Passages from Comenius's philosophical and educational treatises but also personal correspondence will be read in 17 languages, thus accentuating this thinker's world-wide renown.
Stream video will be available at Comenius online Youtube channel.
