A visit to the… \u201cCentre of the Earth\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In a 19th century farm, at the Center for Environmental Education \u201cCenter of the Earth\u201d, teachers, students of the Intercultural High School of Athens, participated in a hands-on workshop on sustainable development. The children were informed about biodiversity, sustainable food, and about a healthy, \u2018circular\u2019 lifestyle. They were excited with the bird observatory and the horses of the farm, and they all enjoyed the salad they made together, with fresh vegetables from the farm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dance workshop for children<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dance is both a creative expression and a rhythmic art form. In collaboration with dance teacher Polena Kolia Petersen, the performing arts theater PLYFA hosted a workshop designed for children to express themselves through movement and the unique creativity that dance offers. During the workshop, the children showcased their talents and various skills. Dance proved to be an ideal medium for them, to learn to listen to and trust their bodies, serving as a bridge between their inner and outer worlds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
