17-year-old Hamida from Afghanistan enrolled to Step2School at the beginning of the current academic year, informing her teachers that she was not going to attend classes for long, as she intended to get married soon. Seven months later, Hamida is one of our most enthusiastic students! She already speaks Greek quite well and her new priority is to study literature. “I find the Greek civilization fascinating”, she tells us. “When I was a little girl, in my home country, I read about ancient Greece, Alexander the Great and the modern Greek poets. I was thrilled the other day, when our teachers took us for a visit to the Acropolis! Now, I want to learn more about the history and culture of Greece”, she adds.
METAdrasi’s activity Step2School is being realised with the valuable contribution of volunteers, in cooperation with the “Open Schools” programme of the Municipality of Athens, which operates with Stavros Niarchos Foundation as fοunding donor, with the coordination of Athens Partnership and John S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation as activities supporter.
