Previous Events
Event 2014-2015
The action was carried out for the first time in the school year 2014-2015 under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture, Education and Religious Affairs and was attended by students of Gymnasiums and Lyceums in Attica. Throughout the school year, students, with the help of educational and professional actors, directors and composers, set up working groups and were active, according to their interests and potential, in all aspects of a play: Scenario, directing, acting, lyrics, choreography, the production of original sets and costumes, the creation of digital material. As far as the pedagogical dimension is concerned, their involvement with the scientific content and the deepening, after their own encouragement, of the natural concepts for the best stage rendering of the roles is an indicative factor of the usefulness of such actions in the educational process.
Event 2015-2016
After the successful event of the school year 2014-2015, the organizers decided to expand the participation range of the activity so that the next school year schools and from other regions of the country will participate as well. So for the school year 2015-2016 and again under the Ministry of Research Education auspices, two final events were scheduled, one in Athens and one in Thessaloniki and was possible to schools who could not travel to participate in one of the two, to participate in the special category of the Video contest. For the realization of the events venues were selected that promote and relate to research and science: the School of Philosophy of Athens in Athens and the Noesis – Science Center and Technology Museum at Thessaloniki. Overall that year, the action involved 29 schools, 46 teachers, and 509 students. Particularly, 254 students and 21 teachers from 14 different schools of Athens, 120 students with 14 teachers from 8 different schools of Thessaloniki and 135 students with 11 teachers from 7 schools belonging to different regions of Greece
