GYMNASIO GENISEAS XANTHIS
High School of Genisea has about 120 students and a teacher staff of 13 including τhe Head, it is
situated 10 km from the town of Xanthi. The school is intensely eco-conscious since there is a large
garden full of ornamental and fruit plants in its yard. The sports facilities complete the scenery. In the
past it used to have a leading role in the implementation of cultural and environmental projects as
well as sports events. Its particularity lies in the multicultural composition of the town’s students and
residents. Local community consists of numerous nations and religions. As pupils coming from
agricultural families, they need to improve their skills in foreign languages, ICT and meet other
practises of European schools. We need a change to exchange common and different subjects,
teaching methods and techniques. School community lacks funds, so they cannot organize
educational trips by themselves. Our school community needs other school communities as a vehicle
for improvement in many fields. Such experiences have as result a better future for all members and
a positive reaction to European schools net. Not only students must learn and improve with an
Erasmus project but also teachers and schools. We think that teacher’s improvement should be
based mainly on sharing good practices, improving or spreading out in some of our schools some
methodologies that perhaps are not so used. Furthermore pupils need values for life through
meaningful activities. Inside these activities we want to include experiments about natural sciences
and new ways of teaching generally. Our school has already granted with many national labels
(included Greek one) and European labels for e twinning project. We have been involved in many
projects and innovative teaching like ICT in education , simple models of coding for all and blended
model activities. We have several teachers of foreign languages, ICT experts and well educated
persons in human/social relationships. OLYMPIA LAMPAKI: Physical education teacher. Phd.in PE
