Carpe Diem!

‘’In these crazy times we rarely have a chance to really enjoy something to the fullest. Even different celebrations were limited. This project aims at our students and teachers to enjoy little joys during the school year, making the most of them, and celebrating unique days in a funny but creative and collaborative way.’’

This was the introduction in the brief description of our eTwinning project carried out from September 2021 to April 2022.

As it is stated, our main aim was to let go of the bad moments we have lived over the past years due to the pandemic and to get together, to work together, to have fun together and to learn together! In a simple and short phrase to ‘’seize the day’’, make the most out of everything positive comes our way.

The project focused on celebrating world days that were not that well-know, international days that gave us the opportunity to work in transnational teams and create, express ourselves and meet online with our friends who came from partners schools in Turkey, Poland, Hungary, Jordan and Greece. From my school, the 4th Primary school of Karpenissi, it was the students of the 6th grade and five students during studying in the integration class who participated in the project, under the guidance of their teachers- Mrs Tziovara, Mrs Mantalova and Mrs Tsiamtsiouri.
