“LET’S LEARN ABOUT EUROPE”
On Thursday March 31, an informative seminar
took place in our school, regarding the
“Structure, organizations and policies of the
European Parliament”
The aim of the seminar was
to further inform and increase awareness
among students and teachers about active citizenship
and values of European
parliamentary democracy
Keynote speaker of the event was Mr. Haris Kountouros
Assistant Office Manager, Head of Public Relations,
Communication and Networks of the European Parliament
Information Office in Greece
After the opening speech, made by school’s
headmaster Mr.
Dimopoulos Paraskevas
there were the introductory
presentations of the two Erasmus+
projects held in our school
this year
Ms. Koundouraki Eftyhia and Ms. Pantazelou Eleni,
contact persons of the two projects,
presented the rational and the aims of our work as well as the activities completed by that time
During his speech, Mr. Kountouros presented the structure of the European
Parliament, its institutional role in the European Union
and its priorities
The audience was encouraged to ask questions
so afterwards there was
an interesting discussion mainly about Greece’s role
in the European Union as well as
in the criticism leveled at EU’s policies
The educational activity attended about 100 students
as well as many teachers and headmasters of schools of our region.
Printed material regarding the European parliament as well as
leaflets of the two Erasmus+ programs were shared to all the participants
Considering students’ interest and their demand
to repeat such an activity we can say that the
seminar was
a great success
We kindly thank the European Parliament
Office in Greece for their valuable help
and we hope to cooperate again
in the future
