On Friday 15th of December 2017 a great celebration of 30 years of European projects was organized by the Greek National Agency, the State Scholarships Foundation (IKY) in the Athens Concert Hall.

The Minister of Education (photo 1) and the Executive Committee of the State Scholarship Foundation presented the progress of European projects in Greece from 1987, when they started, till today. In this day conference there were also many different presentations of European projects from all levels of education from preprimary schools till universities. Vassiliki Anagnostou (photo 2 together with a colleague from Central Greece, Katerina Karkali) participated as a representative of preprimary education – the start of education –  with the belief that preprimary schools need to be more active in European projects, as the cultural interaction, when working together with European partners, broadens the intellectual horizons of the teachers and their students, who are the future European citizens.

Chrystalla Petridou, the representative of the European Committee in this event, pointed out the meaning of European projects for the democracy and peace in Europe.
