1. Connecting the school with society and public space (classroom, yard, community)

Design - Animation: Niki Kokkinoplitis

In the workshop we will design and conduct an outdoor workshop on the visit of our class in a public area of the neighborhood. We will explore what actions we can implement with our class team or in collaboration with other classes and parents. Why is it worth visiting out in the field? Brief presentation of the activities of the^21st Kindergarten of Athens, and the pedagogical material produced by students and teachers. We will also refer to the support we can have during the implementation of an environmental program by agencies and environmental organizations. Debate.

2.Small Books

Design - Animation: Niki Kokkinoplitis

The "Little Book" is a creative work, in which students develop skills (cognitive, social and communicative) in a natural and experiential way because they learn through their own projects, understand what they are learning and why they are learning it. Students with a simple A4 paper produce in many copies small 8-page booklets to be read by their classmates, their families, their friends and other groups of peers of other classes. The students self-motivate, research and collaborate to create a work that will be published - aimed at a real audience. In our workshop, teachers will create handmade Small Books and instructions will be given for the creation of Small Books electronically.

Laboratory:

"The Children's Assembly. Experiencing Democracy in the classroom and doing things"

Design - Animation: Aspasia Kalisora

Speaking of a democratic school, this could not be understood without the active participation of all its members, that is to say, children. Children can and should be allowed to be the protagonists of their everyday school. For this reason and through the institution of school assembly, we will explore experientially the way in which children can express their opinion on issues that concern them, effectively manage the complex web of school relationships and feel that they are actively involved as equal members of the school community.
