The "Free 2 Choose" Project in Hellas!!! * Το Σχέδιο "Free 2 Choose" στην Ελλάδα!!!

Some days ago I wrote a post about the Anne Frank Exhibition in Heraklion (and yesterday an Updates post), where I mentioned the "Free 2 Choose" Project of the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam.

Well, in the framework of this Project, the NGO "Kids in Action" created a short movie about the "Avaton of Mount Athos". Mount Athos is a religious community of male Monasteries of the Orthodox Church, where the entrance is banned for women.

The video presents both the opinions of the Monks and those who believe that the Avaton consists a violetion of Human Rights in Europe. The main aim of that video is to raise awareness about the limits of Freedom and Human Rights in real life and to act as a starting point for reflection and exchange of opinions of the topic.

A second video about "Albanian Pupils and Greek Flag" will be soon available.

Below you can watch the video on the Avaton. If you also want to participate in the relevant discussion, please click here.

Valentine's Day at our EVS Project!!! * Ημέρα του Αγίου Βαλεντίνου στο Σχέδιό μας ΕΕΥ!!!

It's true that I don't really believe in Valentine's Day. It's not just because Saint Valentine isn't a Saint of the Orthodox Church. It's mainly because I do believe that people in love don't need a special day to express it or to memorise on that. Every day for them is a Valentine's Day!!!

On the other hand, I do recognise that this day is a good opportunity to organise parties :) . And of course a great opportunity for Organisation like my Hosting one to create events. So, today we had a big Valentine's (in Polish: Walentynki) Party.

The people of the Educational, Social Rehabilitation & Inclusion Workshop together with the staff and the people of our Kitchen prepared sweets and Meltem with people from different workshops created a choreography that you can see in My Videos.

So, we danced, we ate, we drunk (not alcohol, of course!!!) and we exchanged Valentine's Cards and wishes.

Happy Valentine's, buddies!!!
