Students of METAdrasi’s non-formal Education Center in Chios, located just outside VIAL, received a few days ago drawings that children of a school in Spain had made for them.

On the occasion of this initiative, our teachers gathered the children in the courtyard, where our students talked about their experiences in communicating with the children of the local community and all together discussed about the different means of communication.

Subsequently, our students made drawings to be sent to their new friends in Spain, adding their names as a last touch, and in this way “teaching” the adults that language is not a barrier and that we can all be friends!
