Κατηγορία: Seminars/Conferences

On Friday 1 November 2024, our school Greek Language and Literature teacher Georgios Thodis made a presentation in the 2^nd International Academic Conference entitled “Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence”. The conference was held in Arta, in the premises of the University of Ioannina, and was organized by the Secondary Education Directorate of Arta in collaboration with the University of Piraeus, the University of Peloponnese, the University of Ioannina, the University of Thrace and the Ionian University.

Mr. Georgios Thodis made the presentation entitled “Implementations of Artificial Intelligence in language teaching”. The presentation studied the ways in which Artificial Intelligence can lead to the improvement of language teaching and the boosting of learning in this case. He suggested ways of integrating A.I. which had to do with the development of students’ skills in written speech (such as in the writing of texts, summaries, in translation, etc.), in the use of interactive educational games, in customization, in feedback, in the support of students with special needs, but also in marking and in information giving for every student, so that the language teacher can make better informed decisions.

On Wednesday 4 September 2024 at 09:30-11:30, the Education Consultants of English in the D’ Athens Directorate Ms. Tsolou Olympia and Ms. Kitsou Sofia organized a training seminar for the High Schools teachers of this area. The seminar was entitled “CLIL in the Greek High School” and the speaker was Dr. Eirini Arnaouti, English Language teacher in Evangeliki Model High School of Smyrna. Dr. Arnaouti talked about the implementation of the CLIL method in the teaching of English in the High School through examples of implementation in classes, inter-disciplinary activities and projects she has realized in our school.

On Tuesday 22 October 2024 at 12:00-14:00, the Education Consultants in the D’ Athens Directorate Mr. Grapsas Ioannis, Natural Sciences, Mrs. Dimakopoulou Alexandra, Greek Language and Literature, and Mrs. Kokkaliari Magdalini, Mathematics, organized a training seminar for the teachers of their area entitled “Completing the Erasmus+ KA122 application – Individual Learning Mobility for the School Education”. The invited speaker was Dr. Eirini Arnaouti, English teacher in Evangeliki Model Ηigh School of Smyrna. Mrs. Arnaouti presented analytically the preparation and completion of an Erasmus+ School Education application, focusing on the Individual Learning Mobilities ΚΑ122, based on her long experience in the completion of applications and the realization of European projects, including those of our school.

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.

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.
