This course has been designed for teachers who want to learn about Greece. We will examine how Greece contributes to the creation of the European identity and we will have a great taste of Greek culture, history and gastronomy.

 

Greece is located in the Southeast Europe and is considered the cradle of Western civilization, being the birthplace of democracy, literature, historiography, political and mathematical science and theatre. It is also the first country that the Olympic Games took place. Furthermore, Greek cuisine is based on the Mediterranean diet which is really healthy and considers a great variety of local dishes.

 

Participants will leave the course full of knowledge about all the aspects considering the Greek culture. Besides, some theoretical clues, most of the days we will visit many places in Athens such as museums, archeological sightseeing, theatres and restaurants so that we will have a holistic look of what “Greece” looks like.

 

Moreover, teachers participating in this course will develop a wide variety of new skills considering inclusion, multicultural spirit, active listening, respect through different cultural traditions, learning new practices of promoting cultural heritage in their classes and gaining wider spiritual horizons.
