2nd Primary School of Agios Nikolaos

    Celebration of the World Day of Peace at the 2nd Primary School of Agios Nikolaos

                                     Erasmus, eTwinning and Unesco activities

The World Day of Peace celebration, on September 21, was established by the United Nations in 1981 to strengthen the message of prosperity and love throughout the planet. 

Our students celebrate this great day with innovative activities with the help of their teachers and local organizations.

This year, at our school, the 2nd Primary School of Agios Nikolaos, the students helped so that peace would be associated with joy and creativity by drawing, composing poems and participating in field games. 

At the Traffic Education Park, in collaboration with Mrs. Georgia Bolonaki, Chief of the Scouts of Agios Nikolaos, the children talked about peace. 

They helped us with their ideas to understand that our participation in creative actions is the beginning of the well-being and happiness of all the people of our planet.

“Children are our fellow travellers on our journey of the Boy Scout System. In our Club, we organize weekend trips in nature so that children fully develop their physical, mental, social and spiritual abilities by participating in age-appropriate games. This year's Boy Scout motto, "Friends for real", encourages children of all ages to discover this extraordinary location. 

The children can look for the activities in their neighbourhood's local Club, " explains Ms. Bolanaki. "It is our great pleasure to contribute to the dissemination of your school's Erasmus activities, but also to the activities celebrating Unesco's World Days", added the Scouts leader.

The action is part of the "Embrace Peace" awareness campaign of the 8th Primary School of Kifissia - a UNESCO ASPnet member school - and will be posted on a specially designed blog dedicated to the World Day of Peace. 

It also frames our School's request for participation in the Unesco Schools Network as well as the activities for the Erasmus program "Live mobile, Eat healthy, catch quality" 2022-2024 for the fifth mobility of October in Adana, Turkey, as well as the eTwinning program "Spread the word" 2023 - 2024, in which our school is the creator. 

The 2nd Primary School, through this year's collaboration with the Boy Scouts, Books on Wheels, as well as its membership in the Ecological Schools Network, participates in practice in defending the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, contributing to the creation of a better and more peaceful world.

The actions will continue during this school year.
