DISSEMINATION OF TEACHER TRAINING SEMINARS 9/4/2024
On Wednesday, September 4, 2024, the dissemination of the educational seminars attended by eight teachers of the school during the summer took place. The diffusion launched the first interactive whiteboard placed in a school room. First, videos from the seminars were presented, followed by photos from the program's website .
In the mobility participated three teachers who, among other things, referred to the main points of education system of Finland in which the audience also showed particular interest. Particular emphasis was placed on the preparatory year in which all students attend before their admission to primary education, the choice of Lyceum by application and according to the degree of graduation from the nine-year, compulsory education. In addition, he referred to the summer work program of the graduates of compulsory education before entering the general or technical high school.
Very important was the visit and activity in the imposing Oodi library, which in essence is a multi-space accessible to everyone regardless, with corners for socializing or self-concentration, reading or playing, creating and building and incredible logistical equipment. It is a space that promotes equality, acceptance and inclusion. At the end the cultural part was mentioned with highlights being the outdoor history museum in Tallinn (a good practice we would like to implement in our school), the imposing rock church, and the outdoor market. In addition, the usefulness of the sauna, which is a key part of Finns' everyday life, and traditional Finnish meals were highlighted.
Some key tips for implementing these strategies in our daily routine is to look for moments where we will listen to the signals our body is sending. We can put a reminder in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the office until it becomes a good habit. We need to connect with our body and senses, name our feelings and needs. Need awareness is one of the most powerful long-term stress management strategies.
Finally, practicing gratitude is also very important. Only in this way will one be able to absorb the good things and memories to turn them into sustainable experiences.

SPREADING GROUP MOBILITIES AND JOB SHADOWING TO TEACHERS
The presentation was made in chronological order of the movements during the year and not by program section. Initially, the videos that the students had prepared were shown and then the participating teachers took the floor with a simultaneous display of the website of the program or presentation that they had prepared for that day.
The event was welcomed by the coordinator of the program, Ms. Dimitra Dobrou, emphasizing how important this year was and how many opportunities were given to students and teachers (32 students and 14 teachers) to participate in the Erasmus+ KA1 accreditation program.
The presentations started with the reception of September 25-29/9/2023 to remind and compare with the rest of the mobilities.
1. The doors of the classrooms remained open during the lesson, as there was silence during the educational process.
2. It was possible for the teacher to use a mouthpiece to make it louder in class.
Then the mobility at the Max-Plank-Gymnasium school in Ludwigshafen, Germany 4-8/12/2023 was presented by the participating teacher Ms. Chrysoula Parousis who underlined, among other things, "... in Germany the students were given the opportunity to see up close the BASF factory, which is the largest chemical factory in the world and to get to know the purely industrial city of Ludwigshafen as it was formed after the great destruction caused by the bombings of World War 2.
The waste management of the city was impressive, where nothing is left unexploited but they take care of their recycling to produce electricity..."
The presentation was completed by Ms. Siopi who participated in the program with the job shadow action, commenting: " ...The teaching at the school in Monterotondo was teacher-centered. The teachers delivered the lesson face-to-face, without organizing cooperative learning models. The teaching was done using interactive tables, the lesson content was not accompanied by the corresponding worksheets and the interaction between teachers and students. I was impressed that the students were handing over their cell phones upon entering the room and placing them numerically in folding cases..."
On the same dates, the movement took place in Pamplona, Spain 18-22/3/2024 after it coincided with that of Italy. We are fortunate that the two movements took place in a week in which Holy Monday and March 25, 1821 were celebrated, so that the smooth running of the school was not disrupted.
This is where the philologist Ms. Vicky Lazaridou took the floor, who participated in the job shadow action, spotting ". ..at the entrance of the school there is a sign that prohibits jockey hats, mobile phones and headphones. The classrooms look like ours, but they have 2 blackboards: a chalkboard and an interactive touch one. The teaching is teacher-centered, with lots of questions from the students... "
Last featured was the mobility Zaklagna Skola Ulika Vajanskeho in Lucenec, Slovakia 13-17/5/2024 which took place in the last week of classes. Ms. Anastasia Livanou and Pelagia Saltamara shared their experience with the other teachers who had
The presentation was completed by Ms. Saltamara who participated as a job shadow. Among other things, he emphasized the following " ...I really liked the original board they had. It was a whiteboard and the blackboard was closed with shutters on top. It also went up and down in height, so important for students and teachers!
In addition, many children in their chairs had cushions to make them sit more comfortably. The students had the workbook open on their desk, the teacher pointed to the specific page they were working on in the book on the interactive whiteboard. He wrote the correct answers on the interactive so they didn't keep asking if they didn't hear well. Also, the students had lockers with their personal items, something very useful!..."
