On Friday 24/05/2024 in the context of the self-evaluation of the school unit, an internal training on the 3rd Action Plan: ‘Development and utilization of the school website for the promotion of school activities’ was held by the action coordinator Tasakou Stavroula PE03 and Bratis George PE84 . There was an evaluation of this action and the colleagues were informed about the new software and the actions that renewed the website.They discussed how accessible and easy to use the website is and how much it enhances the extroversion of the school in terms of the educational work of students and teachers. Finally, suggestions were made for further improvement of this.
On Thursday 23/05/2024 after the departure of the students, an internal training and dissemination of the experiences gained by the participating teachers in the 2nd mobility of our school in Finland and more specifically in the courses and training programme entitled “Learning outside theclassroom” took place. Its purpose was to present the knowledge and good practices gained: a. theoretical training at the Europass Teachers Academy Helsinki, b. the discussion-feedback-exchange of good practices with European partners; and c. practical training outdoors, both in the countryside and in urban areas (museums, central library, etc.). In particular, the Erasmus+ Communication Officer, Mr. Evangelos Haritos and the members of the Erasmus+ pedagogical team: the deputy director Mrs. Rosa Kolangelu, Mrs. Asimina Riga, Ms. Angeliki Gerouki, Mrs. Stavroula Tasakou and Mrs. Maria Thanella. This mobility enhanced the exchange of good practices with the Finnish Partners. More specifically:
1. It showed the characteristics of the Finnish education system based on trust in educational officials and the belief that the state can and does fulfil all the needs of citizens on an equal basis, making the most of their potential. At the same time, citizens participate free of charge in all three levels of education and each teacher carries out his/her work with autonomy, choosing the learning subject, the material and the methodology he/she will follow. Furthermore, the educational system is flexible and adaptable to the demands of society, science and technology, while students enjoy the joy of learning in small groups (up to 20 students), in an experiential and active way, without exams and standardised tests.
2. It reinforced everyone’s belief in the importance of outdoor learning, which has been confirmed by research. For the Finns, then, every space is a learning space, as outdoors, the mind calms down, motor skills develop, social relationships are strengthened and learning outcomes improve. Outdoor learning therefore contributes to social well-being and development, physical and mental well-being.
3. Enrich teachers’ knowledge and skills through the practical training they carried out, organising, planning and exchanging ways of implementing outdoor learning or learning outside the classroom (e.g. museums, libraries, etc.) in a safe and added pedagogical value.
The informative web meeting took place on Thursday 23 May 2024 and was organised by the Public Administration of Achaia. The aim of this meeting was to present the basic principles and practical procedures to be followed by teachers wishing to develop and implement a successful Erasmus+ project in the field of Special Education as well as to share experiences of Erasmus+ projects. The teachers of our school unit and members of the Erasmus+ pedagogical team, Mr. Asimina Riga PE02 and Evangelos Haritos PE80 presented to the participating teachers a short and comprehensive account of the experiences of the participants and the good practices gained through their participation in the European Erasmus+ project.

In the context of the dissemination of the results of the two mobilities carried out by our school in France (“Observation of special education teachers’ working methods”) and in Finland (“Learning outside the classroom”), the teachers Tasakou Stavroula PE03 and Stamatellatou Aikaterini PE88.02, implemented an exemplary interdisciplinary teaching on “Axial Symmetry in nature”.
The students of sections A2 , A3 and B3 were first taught the concept of symmetry and the axis of symmetry in plane geometric shapes and watched a video ( T4E Kindergarten teachers – D1 : Symmetric and asymmetric shapes ) . Then, with the help of their teachers, they went out into the garden of the agronomy laboratory to see if there is symmetry in the leaves of the plants. Each student cut out a sheet of paper. We glued these sheets to a large piece of cardboard and drew the axes of symmetry on them.
In the end, feedback and self-evaluation was given with relevant questions from both students and teachers and we all came to the conclusion that the concepts of symmetry and harmony are inextricably linked to the nature that surrounds us.
The exemplary teaching was attended by teachers Sideri Lambrini PE03, Prapa Demetra PE02, Gerouki Angeliki PE08, Katafiotis Matina PE88.05 and Maritsa Irini PE88.02
