In  this  area  the Greek  learners  firstly  created  some  lists  of  food  in  different  categories  and  made  a  survey  what  are  the  healthy  and  unhealthy  foods  of  each  participating  country  in  this  programme.
Next  they  went  on  creating  Greek Mediterranean  salads.

                                      CHRISTMAS  TRADITIONS  IN  GREECE
During  Christmas  we  use  to celebrate :
1)  By  decorating  our  homes  traditionally  with  a  ship  (a  Greek  custom)  as  Greece  is  a  country  surrounded  by  sea  instead  of  a  Christmas  tree  (although  lately  Christmas  trees  have  also  come  into  our  lives).
2)  We  eat  traditional  sweets  called  Melomakarona,  Kourabiedes  and  Diples.  The  first  and  last  have  as  a  main  ingredient  honey.  The  second  are  covered  all  over  with  sugar.
3)  For  the  celebration  of  New  Year  we  make  a  special cake  called  Vasilopita. In  it  we  place  a  coin  and  the  one  who  finds  it  is  considered  to  be  lucky  throughout  the  year.
4)  Our  traditional  Christmas  dish  is  roast  stuffed  turkey  with  chestnuts.

                        VISITING  A  GIRLS'  ORPHANAGE  FOR  CHRISTMAS
During  Christmas  in  every  school  in  Greece  teachers  and students  who  can  afford  it  buy  different  food  products  and  we  collect  used  but  in  good  condition  clothes  and  take  them  as  a  present  to  an  institution  in  need.  This  year  in  connection  to  our  programme,  which  gave  emphasis  to  human  relationships  as  well,  we  decided  to  offer  these  products  to  a  girls'  orphanage  in  Patras.



                                                        CHRISTMAS  CARD

We  would  like  to  thank  our  Spanish  friends  for  their  Christmas  Gift.



                                  RELATIONSHIPS  AMONG  PEOPLE  (PART  2)
3)  A  psychologist  and  a  social  functionary  were  invited to  our  school  to  speak  to  the  Greek  students  about  human  relationships  and  communication.









                              RELATIONSHIPS  AMONG  PEOPLE  (PART  1)
After  talking  with  the  Greek  students  on  the  positive and  negative  aspects  of  human  communication  and  relationships  and  the  bad  role  mass media  plays  on  it  as  people  have  become  isolated  a  number  of  activities  followed :
1)  They  created  some  drawings.



2)  They  planted  seeds  from  a  flower  called  CROCUS  which  is  a  reminder  of  the  Jewish  Massacre  and  has  become  since  then  a  symbol  of  solidarity,  friendship  and  peace  against  racism  and  xenophobia.
