Last week's discussion topic was education. It all started with a brief introduction to Summerhill and its democratic views on educating children and continued with brainstorming and collecting ideas concerning the Greek educational system, its advantages and disadvantages. Unfortunately, we almost all agreed that the drawbacks outweigh the benefits and next week will try to suggest ways with which we might improve things (even if just in theory). On the Project Pages there are some very interesting ideas on the "Ideal School" as well as some research on other educational systems ("Education Abroad") all projects by ex-Anavryters. They are worth having a look at before we start working on our own projects...soon to be announced!

The Horror
Our project for the first term with Γ1 and Γ3 was natural disasters, tragedies, crimes, terrorist attacks and generally dire situations that the world has faced during the 20th and 21st centuries...
Our aim was to realise how lucky we are to live in a safe country that is not at war and finally see how fortunate we are to be alive, healthy and among people that love us and that we love. The aim was to be thankful for simple, everyday things and to appreciate the little joys in life.
Our projects are almost ready to be presented to the world (!) on the The Horror Page (on the right hand side) and will be enriched with more projects during the following weeks.
Unfortunately though it seems that our project idea will further be enriched by the horrific terrorist attack in Paris 13/11/2015 #prayforparis
It is important for us to underline the fact that it is not only the people who lost their lives in Paris that we must pray for, but for all the people that fall victims to terrorism, war and criminal acts.
