What Do You Like Most In Your Life: Finding moments of real peace
Why Did You Choose EVS: It was about time for me to try an international experience through a “non-touristic” journey, as I have lived my whole life in Greece. I wanted to meet other people in such an environment and in having this intercultural meeting in an organised way
What Are Your Expectations: To upgrade my pedagogical skills, my communication skills, to discover how it feels to be part of a team -especially in an unknown place, to get involved with the local community, to see how different and how common to mine is a different culture, to practice foreign languages, and finally to get out of my comfort zone!
What can you share with other people, what can you speak about at schools?
I think I could have presentations of
- traditional Greek music (instruments, rhythm, culture, famous composers) – which would be more interesting for ages 14+
- greek mythology
- teach Greek language basics (alphabet, common phrases) – suitable for all ages
- Talking about human behaviour: How Cognitive Processes make us react in a way or another (for teenagers & adults)
- Physical Expression exercises for drama team or any team (school-going children, teenagers and adults)
- Sexual & Reproductive Health issues (mostly for teenagers and adults)
- Dietary Habits (ages 9-17)
- Eating Disorders -Bulimia, Anorexia (ages 12+)
- Substances abuse (tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, chemicals) – teenagers only
- Homophobia – What is it? Are you a homophobic or not? discussion for teens
- Human Rights all over the world / in Europe
- Ted-Ex video projection about Stress and How it affects us
(in English) and then a discussion about the topic -(must be an intermediate level of English-speaking students)
