Languages lead our heart and mind to new worlds

 Other activity, 26 set 2025 - 31 dez 2025, Thessaloniki, Grécia

Celebration of European Day of Languages 2025 26/09/2025 The students of 1st Evening Junior High School of Thessaloniki celebrated the European Day of Languages 2025, by playing games that are suggested in the official European- Day- of- Languages webpage, translating Greek words from various subjects into other European languages and drawing the flags of various European countries whose languages they speak or prefer. Moreover, towards Christmas, some of them used their native language to describe how they celebrate Christmas in their countries, thus showing us the power languages have when we use them to describe new customs, traditions, ideas and, ultimately, new worlds! The motto of the action was: ‘’Languages lead our heart and mind to new worlds’’. Congratulations to all the students who participated in the action! Special thanks to students Sarkisian Inga, Gramada Angela Camelia and Manoli Fotini who painted and wrote about Christmas traditions in their countries(Russia, Romania and Greece respectively). Thank you! Teachers in charge of the action: 1) Damtsi Efthymia (Teacher of English) 2) Channaki Alexandra (Philologist). In charge of co-organizing and promoting the action: Tsiakmakoudis Athanasios (Physicist and Radioelectrician - Headmaster of 1st Evening High School of Thessaloniki). Εορτασμός της Ευρωπαϊκής Ημέρας Γλωσσών 2025 26/09/2025 Οι μαθητές και οι μαθήτριες του 1ου Εσπερινού Γυμνασίου Θεσσαλονίκης γιόρτασαν την Ευρωπαϊκή Ημέρα Γλωσσών 2025, παίζοντας παιχνίδια που προτείνονται στην επίσημη ιστοσελίδα της Ευρωπαϊκής Ημέρας Γλωσσών, μεταφράζοντας ελληνικές λέξεις από διάφορα γνωστικά αντικείμενα σε άλλες ευρωπαϊκές γλώσσες και ζωγραφίζοντας τις σημαίες διαφόρων ευρωπαϊκών χωρών τις γλώσσες των οποίων μιλούν ή προτιμούν. Επιπλέον, κοντά στα Χριστούγεννα μερικοί και μερικές από αυτούς και αυτές χρησιμοποίησαν τη μητρική τους γλώσσα για να περιγράψουν πώς γιορτάζουν τα Χριστούγεννα στις χώρες τους, δείχνοντάς μας έτσι τη δύναμη που οι γλώσσες έχουν όταν τις χρησιμοποιούμε για να περιγράψουμε νέα έθιμα, νέες παραδόσεις και ιδέες και, τελικά, νέους κόσμους! Το σύνθημα της δράσης ήταν: ‘’Languages lead our heart and mind to new worlds’’. Συγχαρητήρια σε όλους τους μαθητές και όλες τις μαθήτριες που συμμετείχαν στη δράση! Ειδικές ευχαριστίες στις μαθήτριες Σαρκισιάν Ίνγκα, Γκραμάντα Άντζελα Καμέλια και Μανώλη Φωτεινή, οι οποίες ζωγράφισαν και έγραψαν για Χριστουγεννιάτικες παραδόσεις στις χώρες τους(Ρωσία, Ρουμανία και Ελλάδα αντίστοιχα). Σας ευχαριστούμε! Υπεύθυνες εκπαιδευτικοί για τη δράση: 1) Δάμτση Ευθυμία (Εκπαιδευτικός Αγγλικής Γλώσσας) 2) Χαννάκη Αλεξάνδρα(Φιλόλογος). Υπεύθυνος συνδιοργάνωσης και προβολής της δράσης: Τσιακμακούδης Αθανάσιος (Φυσικός και Ραδιοηλεκτρολόγος-Διευθυντής του 1ου Εσπερινού Γυμνασίου Θεσσαλονίκης).
