"Te doy mis ojos" (Take My Eyes)

In addition of all the activities organized to celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women in our school, the students of 4th C have watched the spanish movie "Te doy mis ojos" (Take My Eyes) directed by Icíar Bollaín, one of the most interesting spanish film directors; a hard film about gender-based violence. We have finished with a forum over the issue.

“A healthy mind in a healthy body”

“A healthy mind in a healthy body”…
… the Ancient Greeks used to say. So, we planned for our students the opportunity to participate in organized sports activities outside school unit. Our aim was to mobilize teenagers to become physically active in order to maintain exercise as a habitus in their everyday lives as adults. Our motto is: Health with lifelong exercise!
We think that Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being is very important, especially because we live in a sub-mobile society with overweight children. And we have started to apply it in teenage school life. It is worth the effort.
Follow our example: Keep Calm and Exercise!!!...

Informative meeting with the Management Body of Pamvotis Lake

The Management Body of Pamvotis Lake visits our school
In the context of the implementation of the Erasmus+ program "Agenda 2030: That's our challenge!" and, particularly of objectives 6 "Clean water" and 4 "Quality education", an informative meeting of the Management Body of Pamvotis Lake took place, with our students who take part in the program. Staff members informed students about the functioning of our city lake ecosystem, as well as of the anthropogenic activities - interventions and the environmental issues that are being caused and ended up playing an interactive educational game with them.
Our aim was for the students firstly to become aware of and get engaged in experiential learning in order to integrate their knowledge into relevant school lessons, projects or environmental programs and, secondly, to mobilize the school community on the thematic and related actions of the multifaceted program they are developing.

Elimination of Violence Against Women

Our action on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women has been very successful today. The Erasmus students were at 11.30 at the central sidewalk, in order to inform our fellow citizens about this crucial issue. Under the guitar sounds of two of our classmates, we distributed leaflets with our slogans inspired by the thematic of this special day, expressed our views to the interested passers-by and stated our presence in the TV channel camera. The response of the public has been great and we have received many congratulations on our initiative.

Wordcloud about Agenda 2030

The first stage of our students’ familiarization with the Erasmus+ program and the Agenda 2030 was successfully accomplished by filling in the worksheets with the questionnaires and the brainstorming process.
As a follow-up to this, the students gathered key-words about the program and processed them by applying a “wordcloud” in the symbol of Earth. Thus, the use of ICT is embedded in our learning practice in an interesting and joyful way (Goal 4: Quality Education).
Would you like to do something similar?
