We are pleased to announce that our school is actively participating in a new Erasmus+ project dedicated to exploring and preserving European cultural heritage while fostering environmental consciousness. This significant initiative unites educational institutions from five countries—Greece, Spain, Italy, Türkiye, and North Macedonia—to collaborate on promoting sustainability, digital education, and intercultural exchange.
Spain coordinates the project, ensuring seamless communication and effective implementation of activities across all participating countries. Mrs Efraimidou Kyriaki, representing Greece, serves as the national coordinator and is pivotal in organizing and overseeing the involvement of Greek students and educators in this initiative. With a strong commitment to European values, the project aims to equip students with essential 21st-century skills while addressing the impact of climate change on UNESCO World Heritage cities.
