Meetings with the parents

During the 2 years of the project, we have cooperated perfectly with the parents of the students.

The Cooperation between the paedagogic team of the Comenius and parents of the students was impeccable throughout the Program. Parents were actively involved in the activities of the program and offered their help without complaint as many times asked as they were asked to.

Active participation and cooperation in all activities of the Program

Prefecture of Larissa

The Prefecture of Larissa hides many natural beauties. But only  few people know them, because the Prefecture's economy is not based on tourism. However, the prefecture has wonderful beaches all bordering the Aegean Sea, the beautiful mountains Olympus, Kissavos (Ossa), Maurovouni and plenty of archaeological and Byzantine monuments.

Beaches

All the beaches of Larissa Prefecture are  from half to an hour far, from the city of Larissa. They are located on the Aegean Sea. The combination of fine sand and pebbles with a really blue clean sea, is very picturesque.

Also, we visited the old city of Plovdiv, the capital city Sofia, the city of Kazanlak and the Museum of the Rose.

Unity on Diversity

School preparation for the workshop about doing surveys on native traditions, rites and customs concerning the major spring religious holiday in Greece: Easter.

We meet to decide on the type of presentation and rituals we are going to present to partner teams to Bulgaria.

The Greek Comenius Corners

From the beginning of the project we created the Greek Comenius Corners in 2 parts of our school. The first one is in the teachers' office that always receive many visitors.

The second one is in the "Comenius Classroom". We used to have this place to gather there to discuss, organize and compose the various comenius workshops. Just after the beginning of the project our principle Mr. Ioannis Tzikas arranged to have a place with wifi internet connection where we could group to work and exhibit our products. Some times we used to bring the students to have lessons in that classroom when the subject was relevant to the products of our Comenius workshops.
