Project “The European School-Athens-The European School”
Starting from 2012, the European School is actively involved in an educational festival “Golden Fleece” to celebrate Georgian-Greek relations. The festival is supported by TSU Institute of Classical, Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies, The Embassy of Greece in Georgia and National Archives of Georgia.
Over the course of the years, the European School students have been participating in different activities, in particular:
During the academic year 2012-2013, Grade 6A students (team leader: Irakli Bezhuashvili) were awarded the first prize in an intellectual tournament “What, When, Where.”
In 2013-2014, Grade 7 and Grade 10 students were awarded the diplomas and prizes – the tournament was dedicated to the jubilee of Melina Mercury. Students’ works were published by the TSU editing house. During the festival the primary year students were actively involved: they participated in role-playing games about Greek Mythology. They were mentored by our History teacher, Maia Tsenguashvili.
The festival was launched for our Georgian Program students in 2018-2019. The project explored Ancient Greece and its relations with Georgia. TSU Institute of Classical, Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies held interactive lessons on bullying in ancient Greek tragedies.
On November 30, 2018, Grade 7 students, parents, our history teacher, Maia Tsenguashvili, Middle Years Programme Coordinator, Inga Toloraia, and a homeroom teacher, Tamta Gogichashvili, went on a four-day trip to Greece.
On November 30, 2018, students met with Ambassador Ioseb Nanobashvili. On the same day, they had a meeting with the Georgian Diaspora representatives and Avtandil Mikaberidze, the director of Georgian Cultural Center “Caucasus.”
On December 1, 2018, students went sightseeing and visited Acropolis and other famous sights in Greece. On the following day, they went to Argolida, Mycenaean Acropolis, an archaeological museum and Epidaurus Theater.
On December 3, 2018, the group went to a famous city of Nauplius, Vouliagmeni lake, Cape Sounio, and Poseidon temple.
