2nd Primary School of Kaisariani, Greece

    Through this project we wish to upgrade the quality of the education that we offer to our students and enrich our curriculum by helping our students to communicate with students from other countries and learn first-hand about their cultures.We consider  the inclusion of students with special needs and special educational needs is very important since we have a significant number of such students. Another important motive we have is to help our students aquire life skills like team work and collaboration with others in a multi-cultural environment and develop a positive attitude towards learning. We believe that such projects help young students improve both academically and emotionally and gain an overall satisfaction by combining fun and learning. Last but not least the use of technology will help all of us, teachers and students alike, to aquire computer literacy. In a rapidly changing world we want to familiarize our students with their past so that they know who they are and where they come from. A way to achieve this is through tradition and cultural heritage.We also want our students to develop a sense of European identity by learning about the culture of other European countries. 

    The key people in this project are Mr Giannis Kyriazopoulos, the headmaster of the school, and Mrs Dionysia Amorginou, english teacher as the contact person.

OUR MAIN PROJECT

Our project is based on interdisciplinary and group co-operative learning as it combines various school subjects ( History, Art and Information Technology. We took inspiration from ancient Greece and other Mediterranean countries where we can find a plethora of ceramic pots and plates dating back to ancient years. After examining the representations and motifs of ancient pottery and discussing about them and their use, we painted on the pots and plates various pictures inspired by antiquity and combined with modern elements. Our works of art are exhibited in a special room in our school while at the same time they can be found in digital form since we have created a virtual museum with our exhibits.
