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.

The Headmaster, Nikolaos Drakakis,
and the Teachers of the General Lyceum of Melesses

An Adventure in Hungary

  Vanko Tarakchiev To begin with, that was it for me. It was a completely new and different experience for me. The excellent organization got my attention. Everything had been precisely planned and executed. The places we visited were fascinating and had remarkable histories. One of the things I enjoyed the most was when each country's cultural customs were presented. The cave alley Tapolca also left an impression on me; it was something special and remarkable.           Anton Tsochev I’ve never been in Hungary before this project. I learnt many different and new things about the country. The most beautiful place for me is the lake Balaton. The biggest lake in central Europe and one of the region’s foremost tourist destinations. People were very kind with us everywhere: In the restaurants, shops and in the school. Host family was very caring. This one week was very useful for all of us I think. We improved our communication skills. I like Hu...

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...
