"Today's teleconference with the 6th Elementary School of Orestiada left me with very good impressions. The children and their teacher presented the school and their city to us. It was a very nice experience to watch the students of an Elementary School in a remote town of Greece live. They shared with us stories about the naming of their streets and about their town library. I found these stories extremely interesting and moving and felt as if I was there myself. I have already asked my parents, on our next trip to Northern Greece, to visit Orestiada so that I can meet them in person." A. Doumas

"This communication with the students of Orestiada was very nice. I learned about the buildings, the streets, but also about Orestiada itself. I liked seeing what another school looks like. I hope we can do it again." N. Hondou

 "The communication with the 6th Elementary School of Orestiada - Evgenideio was very nice. From the presentation of this department we learned many things about Orestiada and its history. I liked this presentation very much because they had chosen nice pictures for their power point, they had put very nice information in the presentation and they had formatted it very well. I think it was a very nice communication between these two schools and I would like to contact them again." Our. Gouli
