“Sustainability for Democracy

   Democracy for Sustainability”

     On Wednesday, 12/12/18, the former Member of the European Parliament ,  Mr. Michalis Tremopoulos, having accepted the invitation of the students of the 5^th  General   Lyceum of Veria, met the student members of the Erasmus + KA2 team. The students asked very interesting questions about Democracy and Sustainability and how these can be put in place within Greece as a Member State of the European Union.

   Mr Tremopoulos stressed that Greece has taken many steps towards a sustainable way of managing natural resources, according to EU rules, but it is still lagging behind in relation to other  European countries. Brave decisions and actions need to be taken, but only with strong arguments, consultation, and consensus of citizens can these initiatives proceed. School is one of the key factors that will contribute in this direction.

 The students who participated in the programme  are  Katerina Della, Elena Theodorou, Leonidas Koukouravas, Nikos Tsiflidis and Maria Tsouflidou, students of the second grade. They were accompanied by the teachers Mrs. Giannaki Elena, Totska Katerina and Axouristou Chara, members of the Programme Pedagogical  team.
