Educational visit to the Museum of Contemporary Art "Theodoros Papagiannis"

Ιn April 2019, our students had the opportunity to visit the Museum of Contemporary Art "Theodoros Papagiannis" and to be guided by the sculptor  himself at his premises. The artist referred to the making of the exhibits by "useless" or recyclable materials, but also to his inspiration through his personal experience. Then, he responded to the mini-interview the students have prepared and proved his care of the protection and upgrading of the natural environment as well as the conservation of the local cultural heritage. We mainly served Goal 12: Responsible Production and Consumption and also Goal 4: Quality Education and Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals.

New ping-pong tables

To achieve goal 3 “Good Health and Well-Being” our school has two new ping-pong tables. These tables will be used by Physical Education as part of its syllabus and during the break students can also enjoy and be active playing ping-pong.

We must offer a quality education to our pupils, creating and affective climate environment where students can be active, cooperate, collaborate, help and respect each other.

Exhibition of our Erasmus + Project: "Agenda 2030: That's our challenge!"

From 3rd May to 1st June 2019 at the Alaquàs' Castle.

In this exhibition, the IES Clara Campoamor presents the work done, together with our partner schools from Italy, Germany and Greece, within the Erasmus + Project: "Agenda 2030: That's our challenge!".

The main objective of the project has been to educate our students as citizens aware of the needs of society, so that they became active citizens.

To achieve this aim, we have to change our method of work and use active teaching methodologies, educating in competences and skills that allowed our students to analyze the problems that our society faces and then act to improve them.

All the schools have worked on the 17 Objectives of the 2030 Agenda, but each school has worked, in particular, objectives linked to its environment or characteristics of the school. In Alaquàs, we have worked objectives 3 (Good health and well-being) and 14 (Life below water).

The exhibition shows the activities carried out by our students in the last 2 years.

Happy Easter!

 "The Greek Team wish you A Happy Easter! Let's all together stay in the bright side of life and try to make heaven a place on earth!"

Educational visit to the Technology Park and the University Library of Ioannina

Our students visited the Technology Park and, in particular, the innovative company Cotheta, which specializes in "augmented reality" technology for smart living, cultural heritage and the environment, where with VR glasses they tried a virtual trip to the world. Later, they were guided to the Library, where they gathered useful information about its structure and operation.

The educational visit was very interesting, combining a variety of "information" in the science and research environment of the University of Ioannina. So, we successfully implemented Goal 4: Quality Education.

ACTION ON THE VERTICAL FOREST

In the picture you see The Bosco Verticale (the Vertical Forest) in Milan. The towers have a height of around 100 metres and contain more than 900 trees in the terraces of the two towers.The towers were designed by Boeri Studio. The building helps mitigate smog and produce oxygen. At school we worked to reproduce these two towers symbolising the importance of a clean world.

We are realising the different pieces by means of a 3D printer.

"Playing with Protons": CERN's experimental program at our school

On March 4th 2019, we had the opportunity to attend the experimental “Playing with Protons” program of CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire), which aims to make students familiar with the CERN experiments and particle physics.

Initially, the Nuclear Research Center, founded in 1954 by twelve European countries and based in Geneva, was presented by the Ambassador of the program in our region. The students were then informed about the scientific achievements of the center, including the WorldWide Web and the Higgs boson, about the experiments that take place and, finally, presented the theory of bigbang through theatrical game. So, we successfully implemented Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals and Goal 4: Quality Education.
