Students from 2 different classes gathered in a very small classroom. As many conditions may seem "wrong", what at the beggining seemed awkward in the end created the conditions for greater intimacy.
Happy New Year!
Some may wish that on the 1st of January, some on the 1st of September, we do it this week with our first visits on schools.
The first schools to visit for this year were the 19th Elementary School of Nea Ionia and the 90th Elementary School of Athens, were the students made whatever they could to remind us why we love our job so much!
