Evangeliki Model High School of Smyrna’s Vice-Principal Dr. Panagiota Argyri, after being invited, participated in the Summer School of the project funded by the European Union “Natural Based Solutions Educational Network NBS EduWORLD”, which was organized by the Hellenic-German Education in Greece.

In the summer school, initiatives and good practices “of solutions based on nature” (NBS -Natural Based Solutions) were studied, so as to help students develop knowledge, skills and attitudes that promote ways of thinking, design and action with empathy, responsibility and care for the planet and the public health, on the basis of  GreenComp –European framework of skills for the sustainability, pedagogic and methodological approaches for the incorporation of NBS issues in the national curricula.

The visit in the botanic garden constitutes a typical case study, where were studied the benefits and the practical potential of the “green initiatives”.

Evangeliki Model High School of Smyrna participates in the pilot implementation of innovative actions and initiatives in the framework of the European project NBS EduWORD. During the seminar were developed action plans, including the strategic development, the completion of the national curriculum, the innovative pedagogic approaches, the engagement of the community and the collaboration with other schools.

In the Summer School was also invited our school Principal Ms. Antigoni Laskaridou, but due to the school administrative work, she could not participate. Nevertheless, she participates actively in the plan of the NBS interventions both inside and outside the school and she supports the professional development of the school teachers.

We also hope for the collaboration and support of institutions of the local community, of the Parents and Custodians’ Association and of the Alumni Association, so that the family of Evangeliki School of Smyrna realizes in the school premises initiatives “of solutions based on nature”.

The Headmistress of Evangeliki Model High School of Smyrna Mrs. Antigoni Laskaridou, MA, made a presentation entitled “The work of Kostas Virvos in education”, in the 8^th Panhellenic Conference about Education and Civilisation in the 21^st century, which was held on the 13-14 May 2023 in Athens College and was organized by the National Centre of Research and Preservation of School Material and the Museum of School Life and Education.

On 23, 24 and 25 October 2023, was realized a three-hour seminar on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillator (A.E.D.) use for the C’ Class students by the excellent trainers’ group of Onasseio Cardiosurgery Centre under the supervision of the Education Director Mrs. Maria Meidani. In the seminar, the school teachers, who participated in the seminar of B.L.S. and the use of A.E.D., certified by the E.R.C., held on Thursday 6 October 2022, had the opportunity to repeat their training.

We deeply thank the General Director of the Centre Mr. Panos Minogiannis for the offer, the Education Director Mrs. Maria Meidani and the trainers’ team, Ms. Dinitra Doumpou, Ms. Olga Kadda, Mr. Tasos Karagiannis, Mr. Giannis Trikoilis and Mr. Panagiotis Kossyvas, who transferred their knowledge and experience to our students both on a theoretical and on a practical level.

In the framework of our school community’s (teachers’ and students’) empowerment and awareness of First Aid and given the placement of an A.E.D. in our school (https://kidssavelives.gr/aed/protypo-geniko-lykeio-gymnasio-evangelikis-scholis-smyrnis/), the realization of such a seminar is important for our school community and also for the wider local society.

We hope that our collaboration will continue in the following school year, too, since our aim is the realization of such a seminar for the future C’ Class students, as we wish them to become aware future citizens.
