The week from the 15th to 19th of March 2016 “Perifereiako Lykeio Palaiometochou M. Koutsofta - A.Panagidi” in Cyprus hosted the 4th transnational learning/teaching meeting, under the European program “IT or not IT? Reaching our goals equipped with modern tools”
With great enthusiasm students and teachers of the school hosted 21 students and 9 teachers from the partner countries, Poland, Croatia, Spain and Czech Republic.
On their arrival at the school, the guests had a warm welcome. A large banner made by the students of the Cypriot school, at the school entrance, expressed good wishes to the guests
The meeting in Cyprus focused on the sub-theme of the project "Back to the future”. We tried to show by searching how Information Computer Technology has changed our lives and how it influences our future and that is why in the opening ceremony we combined the old with the new, the past with the future, the traditional with the contemporary.
During the opening ceremony traditional and contemporary dances and songs alternated .
Our school choir, conducted by Mrs Maria Loucaidou, sang, with the special participation of three teachers , “ Ηrysoprasino fyllo”. This song refers to the island of Cyprus, which resembles a leaf of gold and green colour cast into the sea. The lyrics belong to the Cypriot poet and journalist Leonidas Malenis and the music was composed by the famous Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis. On a screen there was a projection of landscapes of Cyprus and the translated lyrics.
In the five days of the meeting different workshops, cultural and social activities took place.
