1. WARM UP ACTIVITIES 

Students engage in different activities in order to get to know each other. They learn more about the host students, their families, their place of living and the partner country.

 2. CREATIVITY 

Every child knows that roses don't regularly fly. The project's title implies that in very few circumstances, roses fly indeed and that when they do so, something wonderfull is bound to happen. Students answer to this strange phaenomenon inventing their own stories which than are beeing send to their partners.

Reading the creative texts of their partners, the students invent a creative response: Be it in pictures, texts, dialogs, short movies ... only the sky is the limit to their creativity.

There had been some delays in the cooperation in December 2019 so we decided to finish the second part of the creativity activity in the second term starting from February 2020. Unfortunatly, due to Covid19, the German school was by then not able, to finish it's creative responses.

 3. FIRST MEETING IN ITZEHOE, GERMANY 

"eTwinning meets Erasmus+" At the beginning of December the participating students meet for the first time in person during a study visit in Itzehoe, Germany.

During the visit the hosts take their guests on a guided tour through their school and it's neighbourhood. The participants engage in work shops on "Resistance against dictatorship in Greece and Germany" and "European values we want to live with". In this way the students learn from the other country's experiences. 

Futhermore the visitors participate at regular school lessons, for example at Physical Education thus taking the opportunity to foster the partnership with shared experiences.

In the end minor changes had to be made in order to fit all the activities in this very short period of time. The Sophie-Scholl-Gymnasium is happy to announce, that our project meeting was a big success.

 4. INTERVIEWS WITH EYE WITNISSES 

The historical research as a stimulus to engage in present and future,  initiated at the first meeting in Germany, is taken further in interviews with eye witnisses that experienced the 60s in both countries.

The students thus discover the period when the Sophie-Scholl-Gymnasium was established. They compile the results and compare their findings at the second meeting in Greece.

We sceduled this activity to be finished at the first meeting in Germany, which was held in early February 2020.

5. SECOND MEETING IN THESSALONIKI, GREECE 

During the second meeting, taking place in March 2020 at the 2. Gymnasium Eleftherio-Kordelio, the students compare the results of their historical research and discuss common traits and differences. Reassessing the results of the first meeting the engage in work shops on Xenophobie and Rassism and discuss and explore ways to overcome these phaenomena using arts and creativity.

This part of the project had to be cancelled due to Covid19.

6. SOCIAL ACTIVITY 

The project's main activities, creativity and historical research, culminate in the final action: Looking back on what they have learned and using their creative skills students at both school celebrate the birthday of Sophie Scholl in taking action for how they want to live with others in the European house thus taking a stand and expressing through actions their own civil opinions.

This part of the project had to be cancelled due to Covid19 and the restrictions that were put in place by local and state authorities.
