Students from a public experimental elementary school in Alexandroupolis, northern Greece, won the first prize in the European e-Twinning competition in the category for children aged 4 to 11 years, with their project Powerfulnaturekingdom.et, implemented in cooperation with the Col Legi Sant Josep school from Navas, Spain. e-Twinning is an internet platform that allows teachers and students in European schools to create joint educational projects in a safe online environment, boosting innovation and school cooperation. “The project involved 22 students from last year’s 5th grade, whose work revolved around the environment, the actions that people can take in order to raise awareness on environmental issues,” said school director Efstratios Kyvirtzikis. The award ceremony took place in the Natural Sciences Institute in Brussels, in the presence of more than 200 participants, including students and teachers from 16 countries, as well as Education Ministries and European Union representatives. The awards were presented by European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport Tibor Navracsics. School teacher Angeliki Kougiourouki, who oversaw the project, received the award on behalf of the Greek delegation.
