The Athena Project:
Make the most out of the past
Make the most out of the past
The Athena Greek goddess of war, wisdom and justice will conduct the pupils of each school throughout historical injustices and violations of human rights.
Prior to the visit to Athens, pupils of all countries have been engaged in relevant activities with their history and language teachers, combining inquiry research, reading and writing to explore migration and social inclusion. They tried to discover parallels across cultures and selected examples of successful integration.
They have been investigating the circumstances that helped people survive and prosper in a new social framework.
Their products have been presented during the 2nd meeting and are listed in the Presentations webpage.
