Testimonials

Trompouki Vagia

Teacher - Greek language and literature

Great experience! Interaction with colleagues from other European countries and fruitful exchange of views on issues of diversity and how we approach them educationally! It helped me to cultivate my ability to adopt good practices from other countries. I felt that I understand the needs of my students better!

Apostolos Mitroulis

School Director

Great experience! The analysis of concepts such as sustainable development, climate change, minimal ecological footprint, natural energy sources, as well as experiential activities, influenced both my daily life(green movement) and actions at school level (recycling, installation of energy-efficient light bulbs, tree planting, promotion of a healthy model nutrition and sustainable development, to our students).

Melidou K. Anastasia

PE86, ICT

Each ERASMUS program has a lot to offer. On our trip to Poland the "Ecological Footprint" had a profound effect on me. On a personal level, I realized that it is not enough to just recycle the garbage. At an educational level, I tried to pass on environmental responsibility to my students by having them do a research on the subject, a questionnaire, which they presented in Power Point format to their classmates to raise awareness.

George Deliopoulos

Language Teacher, 3rd Senior High School of Kozani

My participation in Erasmus+ program and the trip to Poland were extremely interesting. I met Bialystok, a city with kind and hospitable people, which puts sustainable development into practice. I attended classes in Polish High Schools and found out the importance they attach to educational programs for cultivating student creativity. A unique experience!

MARIANOU DIMITRA

PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHER-GREECE

The KA1 Program I attended last September in Tenerife was very interesting and useful. Thanks to this I enriched my knowledge regarding inclusion and diversity. The training was done by qualified people in a very contagious and pleasant way. What they presented and the way they did it, made me capable of using them in my teaching, to enrich it with new and more effective practices.

Christoforou Parthena

History teacher at the 3rd Gymnasium of Ptolemaida

I had the opportunity to work with European partners and see how they work in other countries, to meet trainers with a more open and interesting philosophy of life and to communicate with Greek colleagues in a good atmosphere of cooperation. All this gave me confidence and the conviction that I could do a lot as a teacher in and out of the classroom.
