The Press release of the program in Greece


We are pleased to announce that the General Lyceum of Melesses is participating in the European programme ERASMUS+ΚΑ229 School Exchange Partnerships (2019-2021) for the next two years.

The programme Erasmus+ KA229, entitled“Exploring and Enjoying the Natural and Cultural Heritage”,is a partnership of 5 European countries, co-ordinated by the Czech school Gymnazium Kromerizand supported by partner schools in Hungary (Tamasi Beri Balogh Adam Katolikus Gimnazium, Kollegium, AltalanosIskola es Ovoda), Bulgaria(Vasil Levski Comprehensive School), Italy (Istituto Istruzione Superiore Liceo Medi), and the General Lyceum of Melesses in Greece.

The programme aims to cultivate a sense of respect to the natural and cultural heritage among participating students, teachers and the local community. Awareness is raised through group work, hands-on activities and visits to areas of unique natural and cultural interest. New Technologies will be used extensively in the execution stage of the planned activities. As a result, students will have the opportunity to not only use their IT skills but also improve them through a series of authentic learning activities.

In addition, by engaging in group work on a European level, participants have the chance to enhance their foreign language skills and gain first-hand experience of daily life in other countries, as experienced by their fellow students in their respective hosting countries. Similarly, theywillhavetheopportunitytohosttheirfellow students from abroad and introduce them to the beauties of their area and their own way of life. As it is clear, student mobility, which lies on the heart of the KA229 programmes, promotes tolerance, respect and solidarity, and enhances the sense of European identity among all participants.

Finally, having been educated on matters of conservation and preservation of their natural and cultural heritage, students are asked to impart their knowledge and experiences with their family, school and the local community.

Participating in the Erasmus+ action paves the way for new opportunities, new experiences and new knowledge to all partners.

Gametime!

In the autumn part of the project we still cannot travel to realize the main activities. Therefore, we created some alternatives.  You can read our presentations of important sights of our countries here  and you can have a look at some virtual presentations of famous museums in the participant countries  here . Then you can test what you have learnt about the sights and museums in this  KAHOOT . 

Greece - ancient, new but still beautiful

From the mobility in Crete, I was most impressed by our trip to the aquarium in the capital and the view we saw inside.  I saw fish, turtles and all sorts of different aquatic life that I had only heard of but not seen live.  I was very impressed with the shark we saw in the aquarium, because I had not seen such a thing.  There were other fish that were very interesting, but I don't remember what kind they were.  Jellyfish were also very interesting, they are beautiful creatures, but also dangerous.  We also saw the fish depicted in the children's film Nemo, which were very interesting and brought back childhood memories of the film.  For me, this was the place of rest that impressed me the most. Lyubomir I absolutely love everything about our Greek experience.One of my favourite town in Crete is Heraklion.The town is beautiful and it is near to the sea.The town has got so much museums. The second place that have my attention was the National History Muse...

My Czech Experience

Hi everyone, I have just finished my Erasmus trip in the Czech Republic and I am really happy with what I have done. Both hosting and being hosted is a beautiful thing. I found myself in a very welcoming and prepared family. I also found some super friends with whom I shared a thousand memories that will always remain within me. The flower garden, Zlìn, Kromeritz chateau... are fantastic places that I will never forget. My favorite stop was the Velehrad church and the Modrá Archaeological Heritage Village There is an archaeological museum here, which shows what life was like in the Great Moravian State. From the Czech Republic I will certainly miss my host family and all my friends, even the long green meadows will remain in my heart, I will console myself with my beautiful sea in Sicily. I thank everyone, professors and organizers, who made this wonderful experience possible. Mattia, Italy
