Athens College Elementary School participates in the 10th Panhellenic Conference "Education and Culture in the 21st Century"
Apr 14, 2025
On April 5 and 6, 2025, the 10th Panhellenic Conference titled "Education and Culture in the 21st Century" was organized by the School Life and Education Museum of the National Centre for Research and Preservation of School Material (EKEDISY), the Hellenic Educational Society, and the Hill School, in collaboration with the Department of Tourism Management at the University of Patras.
The Conference aimed to showcase contemporary theories and practices in education, pedagogy, museology, and museum education, encouraging dialogue and the exchange of ideas among all levels of the educational community and cultural institutions. It also addressed current research topics in the field of Education.
Athens College Elementary School actively participated in the Conference with two presentations, led by our students and their teachers.
🔹 "Little Researchers, Great Historians"
Presented on Sunday morning by teacher Mr. Chrysostomos Leyteratos and Elementary School 4 students Valia Kriketou, Vasilis Spiliopoulos, and Chrysa Myrilla. Inspired by their study of the Archaic period, the students designed an interactive knowledge game with multiple-choice questions. This team-based, role-playing activity served as a revision tool, and was also implemented across other classes. The project demonstrated the value of games as tools for learning and collaboration.
🔹 "Using 10 as a compass"
Presented on Sunday afternoon by teachers Ms. Eleni Neofotistou and Mr. Chrysostomos Leyteratos, along with students Christina Pyromalli, Eva Sofia Kotioni, and Alexandros Petrakis. The project brought together Elementary School 1 and 4 students to explore the concept of tens as a foundational unit of addition. Through matching exercises, simple strategies, and playful digital activities, students develop their numeracy skills. The emphasis on peer teaching fosters engagement, agency, and empathy among learners.
Athens College Elementary School's participation in the Conference provided a valuable opportunity for students to present creative activities and experience the joy of learning through collaboration, research and innovation. Congratulations to all the students and teachers who supported them!
