Επιχορηγούμενη επίσκεψη στο Ευρωπαϊκό Κοινοβούλιο στις Βρυξέλλες
Under the "Ambassadors Schools program of the European Parliament", that has materialized since 2017-2018 in our school, a group of 37 students and 3 teachers visited between 20 and 22 February, the European Parliament seat in Brussels. Our school was one of the two schools in Greece, for which the cost of travel was subsidized by the European Parliament, a distinction for which our group deserves congratulations. Our students had the opportunity to learn about how the European institutions run and discuss current European policy issues with Mr. Papadimoulis, one of the EP Vice Presidents. Our group also toured the "House of European History"and the historical monuments of Bruges, Ghent and Brussels.
