From March 31st to April 5th 2025, we had the pleasure of hosting students and teachers from the 22nd Primary School of Athens at I.C. Calvino in Spresiano. It was a beautiful experience, both from a human and educational point of view.

I organized everything with the goal of making them feel welcome and at home, carefully thinking about every detail of each activity. During their stay, we shared CLIL lessons, workshops, games, drama-based activities, cultural visits, and time outdoors. We talked, learned together, laughed and discovered our similarities and differences.

One of the things I’m most proud of is having given students the chance to live such a meaningful experience. They met new friends, practiced English and understood what it means to be part of a bigger European community.

This exchange showed us how powerful it is when schools from different countries work and learn together. It was an experience we will always remember.

Thank you Erasmus+!

Thank you Konstantina for trusting me!

There’s something truly magical about school collaborations — especially when they bring together young minds from different corners of the world. When children meet peers from other countries, explore new cultures, discover unfamiliar customs, and share stories of faraway places, the experience becomes unforgettable. What better way to grow social skills and put into practice what they’ve already learned?

A heartfelt congratulations to everyone involved — our dedicated Greek and Italian colleagues who organized and brought this vision to life, and of course, our brilliant young participants from both countries. Your creativity, enthusiasm, and commitment lit up this project from start to finish!

Next, we headed to the nearby meadow. The students had lunch, and then they were divided into groups. Each group had to discover and collect animals, plants, and insects from the forest. It was a very fun activity aimed at developing communication and teamwork skills among the students, while also gaining knowledge about the river's ecosystem.
