"EUROPE WITHOUT PREJUDICES"

Our school participates in the Comenius multilateral school partnerships action titled "Europe Without Prejudices". Schools from Germany, Estonia, Poland and Turkey are partners in this project too. The project is going to develop cultural knowledge and to diminish racism and xenophobia. It is to encourage students to exchange ideas and knowledge about their countries and it has a good opportunity to improve language skills as well as to increase the motivation of children and teachers. Exchanging traditions, ideas, opinions, methods, thoughts, cultures with their peers across Europe, our children will increase their knowledge about other European places and people. These unforgetable activities will make them aware of their identity. This is a natural way to overcome prejudices and ignorance in order to be able to regain self-esteem, and start to feel part of the same European community.

"Our city, Elefsina"


Our school is located in Elefsina which is a town and municipality about 20 km NW of Athens.It is located near the northernmost end of the Saronic Gulf and is the seat of administration of West Attica Prefecture. 






 It is best known for having been the site of the Eleusinian Mysteries, the most famous religious center of ancient Greece.








It was also the birth place of Aeschylus, one of the three great tragedians of antiquity.









Elefsina is the town where the majority of crude oil in Greece is imported and refined. The refinery nearest to the city is on its west side.





  The greater region of Elefsina is called West Attica, (population 150,000 - 1.5%, area 1000km2 - o.7%) and is mainly industrial area. It is estimated that in this area 40% of the total GDP of Greece is produced. Thus the main occupation of people has to do with industry.

Elefsina currently is the city with the highest ever officially recorded temperature in Europe of 48.0΄C (118.4 `F) on 10 July 1977.
