The Polytechnic School Uprising Anniversary
The Polytechnic School Uprising in 1973 was a mass demonstration against the dictatorship of colonels. The uprising began in 14th November 1973 when the Athenian Polytechnic School was occupied by students and the revolt escalated in a kind of anti-dictatorship revolution and ended up with bloodshed in the morning of 17th November.
On the 17th November our school organized a celebration in the commemoration of the polytechnic’s uprising anniversary. Our two literature teachers and our schoolmates organized an event in order to honor the demonstrators and the victims. The event included poems and songs performed by the students and also photos and videos about the uprising. The organizers achieved to move us and teach us that freedom is one of the most important human rights which can only be acquired with willingness, determination and teamwork.
