The Water Goblin of Cottbus
Συντάκτης: Κων/νος Βούλγαρης | Κάτω από: Εκπαίδευση στον 21ο αιώνα
The Wassermann (water goblin) is a mystical figure who plays his mischievous tricks in the waters of the Spreewald (Spree Forest). Today, he adorns the forecourt of the Sorbian Museum and invites visitors to discover the fascinating Sorbian/Wendish history and culture.
This impressive sculpture, created by Peter Buth in 2005, reflects the richness of Sorbian/Wendish folktales. These are deeply rooted in Lusatia and, therefore, also in Cottbus.

El Greco’s Disrobing of Christ (1577-79)
Συντάκτης: Κων/νος Βούλγαρης | Κάτω από: Εκπαίδευση στον 21ο αιώναΠοια φιγούρα μέσα στον πίνακα δείχνει εσένα, το θεατή;
My name is Morgan Haigh. I’m an art historian, writer and lecturer, and the painting that I’ve chosen is El Greco’s Disrobing of Christ. This is a painting from the late 16th century, painted by this artist who was born in Crete, moved to Venice and then Rome to complete his artistic training, and ultimately ends up in Toledo in Spain, where the locals couldn’t pronounce his Greek name, so they called him “The Greek,” or El Greco.
This painting is still in the place that it was painted for, the sacristy of Toledo Cathedral, and as such I’ve never managed to actually get to see it. But even just in reproduction, these painting— this painting has absolutely fascinated me. In the middle of this tall portrait scene, we have Christ, the main subject here, in this amazing red robe that is about to be taken off Him by the torturers on His way to His crucifixion. He is the central focus, but around Him we have arranged this amazing crowd of faces—of soldiers, of members of the public.
In the foreground, we have the three Marys on the bottom left, and a figure clearly preparing the cross itself, drilling holes into it ready for the crucifixion. But what I’ve always loved about this painting are two details:
The soldier on the left-hand side has the most amazing reflective metal armour—the way El Greco has achieved the light bouncing off that shiny metal surface I’ve always found just exceptional.
And the other figure who really brings this painting alive for me is hidden away in the crowd just behind the shoulder of Christ to the right, and he’s hard to make out at first. He’s this chap, older man with a beard, wearing a kind of floppy red hat, and he doesn’t jump out at you at first. But then, when you spot him, and you see that he’s the only figure in the scene who’s looking dead at you, the viewer… And he raises his hand above the crowd and points out to you—he seems to be accusing you, the viewer, of the misfortune that has befallen Christ. He’s saying you, as a sinful human, have done this to the Son of God, and it has this amazing powerful atmosphere about it—just this one face in the crowd. And like I say, once you spot him, you can never unsee him, and it changes the painting forever!
El Greco’s style is something I find really interesting. I mean, he seems so ahead of his time, so avant-garde, and so different to many of the painters who were working around the same time. It’s— will be no surprise to those of you who are familiar with other works by El Greco that, in the 20th century, painters like Pablo Picasso were hugely influenced by the style of El Greco.
Picasso saw many El Greco works when he was a young boy being trained in art in Madrid in the Prado Museum. He would have been to Toledo and seen this, no doubt, in the cathedral—as one day I hope to do, because I think this is one of the most extraordinary paintings of its era.

Δεν επιτρέπεται σχολιασμός στο Jugendstil
Jugendstil (“Youth Style”) was an artistic movement, particularly in the decorative arts, that was influential primarily in Germany, Austria, and elsewhere in Europe to a lesser extent from about 1895 until about 1910. It was the German and Austrian counterpart of Art Nouveau.
The Darmstadt Artists’ Colony was a group of Jugendstil artists who lived and worked near Rosenhöhe Park in Mathildenhöhe, Darmstadt, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Supported mainly by patrons, they collaborated closely with one another whenever their artistic tastes aligned.
The artists’ colony was founded in 1899 by Ernest Ludwig, Grand Duke of Hesse.
UNESCO recognised the Mathildenhöhe artists’ colony in Darmstadt as a World Heritage Site in 2021, because of its testimony to early modern architecture and landscape design, and its influence in the reform movements of the early 20th century.

Friedensreich Hundertwasser
Συντάκτης: Κων/νος Βούλγαρης | Κάτω από: Εκπαίδευση στον 21ο αιώναThe Waldspirale is a residential complex in Darmstadt, Germany, built in the 1990s. Its name means “forest spiral” in English, referring both to the building’s curved layout and its green roof. It was designed by the Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, planned and realised by the architect Heinz M. Springmann, and constructed by the company Bauverein Darmstadt. The project was completed in 2000.
From the outside, the typical elements of Hundertwasser’s personal style attract attention: the gilded onion domes, the absence of straight lines and sharp corners, the multicoloured painting of the building in earth tones and the colourful ceramic columns.

This is the text from a Stolperstein (“stumbling stone”)—a small memorial plaque placed in the pavement outside the last freely chosen home of a Holocaust victim.
The Stolpersteine project was created by the German artist Gunter Demnig and commemorates individuals who were persecuted and murdered by the Nazis.
Auschwitz was a Nazi concentration and extermination camp where over a million people were murdered during the Holocaust.
Westerbork was a transit camp in the Netherlands from which many Jewish people were deported to extermination camps in occupied Poland.
The Diary of a Young Girl, commonly referred to as The Diary of Anne Frank, is a book of the writings from the Dutch-language diary kept by Anne Frank while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. The family was apprehended in 1944, and Anne Frank died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.

Meet Carla the Curling Stone
For years, Carla waited at the edge of the rink, dreaming of her moment to shine. One frosty morning, she was finally pushed onto the ice. Instead of feeling scared, she felt brave. She slid smoothly, spinning just right, and landed perfectly in the centre of the house!
From that day on, Carla always smiles as she glides across the ice, reminding everyone that with courage and confidence, we can all reach our goals.
In curling, a house is the circular target on the ice that players aim for with their stones. It consists of three concentric rings, usually coloured blue, white, and red. The centre of the house is called the button.
Points are scored based on which stones are closest to the button after all stones in an end have been thrown. Only stones within the house (or touching it) are eligible to score.
Meet Carl the Curling Broom
Carl isn’t just any broom—he’s the fastest sweeper on the ice! With his bright bristles and big happy smile, Carl loves helping his team glide smoothly towards victory. While the stones get the spotlight, Carl knows his job is just as important. With every quick sweep, he clears the path, making the ice perfect and the shots even better.
Carl believes that teamwork makes the dream work. He cheers for his friends, works hard, and never gives up—even during the toughest matches. And no matter the score, Carl always finishes with a smile, because for him, the best part of curling is being part of the team.

Who said that the Greeks only shine under the sun? These two decided to swap the Aegean breeze for a freezing rink and prove that passion travels well—even on ice!
With the precision of ancient mathematicians and the focus of Olympic heroes, they glide, sweep, and shout, “Έλα!” as the stone slides towards glory. If we can invent philosophy, democracy, and the Olympic Games, we can definitely master curling too.
Because being Greek isn’t about the temperature—it’s about the fire inside. 🔥
Dream big. Slide boldly. And if life gets slippery… sweep harder!

Hamlet—A Simple Version for Children
Monologue is the umbrella term.
It’s any long speech by one character.
Soliloquy is a specific type of monologue.
It’s when a character speaks their thoughts out loud, usually alone on stage, and the audience gets a peek inside their mind.
So:
🗣️ Monologue → talking at length (to others or the audience)
🤔 Soliloquy → talking to oneself (inner thoughts revealed)
