"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.

School without prejudices...


A school without prejudice is a goal worth striving for. Since prejudice stems from ignorance, it is knowledge that will liberate the mind and rehumanise the soul. 

Baring this in mind, the Comenius group in Greece was fortunate to discuss with two teachers who have had experience working with a difficult social group. The imprisoned. Ms Youli Pezopoulou, Theatrology phd, language teacher and actress teaches the imprisoned students in Avlona. Ms Christina Frageskaki, Political Science teacher and storyteller worked as a volunteer with imprisoned women. Pupils, teachers and parents gathered in the School Library and listened to the speakers take us inside the prison cells, where people are given a second chance though schooling and worktherapy. The stories were deeply touching.There was a small exhibition with women's patchworks and dolls in the Library, a sole trace of colour in a colourless exhistance. The whole activity was a fruitful one, since it is seems to have triggered more of the kind, with a wider range of students. A group of us is ready to visit the Avlona schoolmates and discuss with them. Another is preparing a letter to them. Items will be gathered to send to prisons. 
Our warmest thanks to the ladies who made us ponder on jailing and reabilitation.
