During the week of 17-24 April 2024 10 students and 2 teachers of the Spanish school Colegio de La Presentación, Baza, visited Athens and were hosted by the students and teachers of 53rd Lyceum of Athens. The Erasmus+ students and teachers of the two schools carried out many cultural teamwork activities and projects on the theme of the mother tongues of the two countries, Spanish and Greek.
They visited Nafplio and Mycenae and, of course, some of the emblematic monuments and archaeological sites of our city: The Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum, the Ancient Agora, the Plaka district, the Greek Orthodox Cathedral and Panagia Gorgoepikoos, the Monument of the Unknown Soldier, the National Garden, the Zappeion, the Panathenaic Stadium, the SNF and the Athens City Hall.
In the latter, they had the honour not only to be guided, but also to meet and discuss with the Mayor of Athens, Mr. Haris Doukas. The highlight of the teamwork activities was the participation of the children from the Spanish school and the 53rd Lyceum of Athens in the "Student Consultation" of the award-winning educational program of the Municipality of Athens "Kids4theCity", which takes place every year at Technopolis. It was the first time that a school from abroad participated in the Student Consultation. In fact, the children from the Spanish school expressed their ideas for improving the urban environment by speaking in Spanish, and they received a warm applause from dozens of Greek students participating in the activity.
