2020-2021 a covid-19 school year...
The current school year started in Greece in a special and unprecedented way. Due to measures to prevent the transmission of the coronavirus, the first day at school was not reminiscent of any previous school years. The students - all in masks - gathered in the courtyard and, under the supervision of the teachers, lined up in sparse rows. The Principal informed them about the operation of the school and asked everyone to pay special attention to keeping the distances. He announced the extension of the European projects of the school, informed the new students about them and inivited them to join. He pointed out that extra curricular activities will be carried out online. He also added that the already planned Erasmus+ mobilities and postponed due to covid-19 will not be held for the time being, as the the Ministry of Education istructs.
Nobody liked these announcements and everyone wished to end this difficult situation quickly and return to usual rhythms.

Briefing students and parents about Erasmus+ programmes
On 11th September 2018, after the Blessing ceremony, the Director of the School, Mr Pallis Charalambos and the pedagogical team of the European projects, informed the students about the Erasmus+ programs that take place in the school this year.
On Wednesday, September 19, 2018, at a planned parent gathering, the Director and the Erasmus+ pedagogical team informed parents about the students' attendance and the European programs of the school.
In more detail, a review was made about the two European programs completed last year ("I am being an ecological person", "Oenological project") and a detailed presentation of the new programs in which the school participates was given.
The first program titled "A nod to our heritage" negotiates our local history and is a partnership with a Spanish, an Italian and a Polish school.
The second Erasmus+ project "Enocultura" refers to the wine culture of the eastern Mediterranean countries and schools from Crete, Cyprus and Spain participate in it.
The third European project "Connecting Classrooms 3.0", which has begun last school year and will be completed the current one, deals with the problem of refugees and migrants by approaching it over time through texts and plays by great Greek authors. One school from Italy and two from Spain along with the 1st High School of Acharnes and the university of Burgos (Spain) participate in this program.

The Greek team!
Today Thursday September 27, 2018 was the first meeting of our project team. The students were looking forward to this gathering and were full of questions about activities and trips. They loved the idea of exchanging information about their place and history with their peers from the other participating countries. The younger kids were excited, while the older ones, who had the experience of other Erasmus+ projects, undertook to inform them about the way of working. The good mood was diffused throughout the meeting. Finally, the group was photographed and gave an appointment for next week.
