Celebrating the European Day of Languages

 Dissemination of good practice, 25 сеп 2025 - 26 сеп 2025, Ν ΙΩΝΙΑ ΒΟΛΟΥ, Гърция

Our kindergarten participated in the celebration of the European Day of Languages 2025, with the slogan “Languages open hearts and minds!” and in collaboration with our English teacher, Mrs. Eleni Chalkia, we discussed about Europe. We saw its map, we learned that it is a continent consisting of many countries and each has its own language, flag and national anthem. We learned that to communicate better with people from other countries, we need to know their languages. Then our students were divided into groups and each group had some flags at their disposal and had to identify how many of them they can see on the worksheet they were given. Then they identified on the map the European countries with which the kindergarten is collaborating this school year in the e-twinning program entitled "Little Water Guardians". At the end, with the help of Mrs. Eleni, we created a poster on which, in addition to this year's slogan, we wrote the word "Peace" in the languages of our Europian friends of the e-twinning program
