The students of a public experimental elementary school in Alexandroupolis, northern Greece, have reached a great achievement with their project “Powerfulnaturekingdom.et” winning the first prize in the European e-Twinning competition in the category for children aged 4 to 11 years, reports Greek Reporter. e-Twinning is an internet platform that allows teachers and students in European schools to create joint educational projects in a safe online environment, boosting innovation and school cooperation. The project belongs to 22 students from last year’s 5th grade and it was implemented in cooperation with the Col Legi Sant Josep school from Navas, Spain. Their work “revolved around the environment and the actions that people can take in order to raise awareness on environmental issues”, explained the school director Efstratios Kyvirtzikis. The award ceremony was held in the Natural Sciences Institute in Brussels. More than 200 participants were present, including students and teachers from 16 countries, Education Ministries and European Union representatives. The awards were presented by European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport Tibor Navracsics. The award on behalf of the Greek delegation was received by school teacher Angeliki Kougiourouki, who had overseen the project.
