A workshop on creating graffiti that promotes sustainability was the meeting's main activity. 

Many asynchronous and synchronous online discussions took place before the meeting so that partners prepared adequately for graffiti creation. The French, Spanish and German Art teachers took the initiative to propose some prototype artworks for consideration. The partners negotiated the graffiti’s proportions, what to depict and what materials to use. Unlike the typical graffiti made with aerosol spray paints, the partners aiming to promote sustainability opted to use ecological paints and recycled paper. Although the original plan described in the application was to make the graffiti in a public space within the Galatsi municipality, the Greek team suggested making the graffiti inside the Greek school. The rationale of this suggestion was to promote sustainability within the school community and preserve it for forthcoming student generations instead of having this graffiti in a public space open to vandalism.

The Greek team presented graffiti artworks around Greece, their forms and themes, as a prelude to graffiti creation.

An international team of students and teachers worked on creating the graffiti under the supervision of the Spanish, German and French Art teachers.

A workshop on creating soap out of used olive oil to promote recycling practices

During at the meeting in Greece, we had prepared a workshop  in which we made bars of soap. 

The process was the following  :


SOAP MAKING


55g NaOH, 320g olive oil, 80g coconut oil, 120g water, 40 drops of perfume

Pot, thermometer, scale, spoon, spatula, gloves, mask, vinegar, stirring rod, silicone molds

We wear gloves and a mask. Weigh the water and soda (NaOH). Carefully pour the soda into the water and stir to dissolve. We wait until the temperature drops to 43 0 C.

Weigh the olive oil and coconut oil, pour them into the pot, heat up to 43 0 C. Pour the soda into the oil and mix with the stigging rod until soap starts to thicken, becomes like a cream and lines appear on the surface (trace). Add the perfume and mix. Pour the mixture into the mold, cover it and leave it for 48 hours. Remove the soap from the mold and let it for a month before use.
