On Wednesday, 12/12/18, the former Member of the
European Parliament , Mr. Michalis Tremopoulos, having accepted the
invitation of the students of the 5th 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.

The Deputy Mayor willingly answered the students' questions about the actions of the Municipality regarding the protection of the environment. He spoke to them both about the actions that the Municipality has already taken and about the future plans in this field (composting, recycling). He focused mainly on waste management, which, as he said, "is also a top priority on the EU agenda for the environment". He spoke about the need to further raise public awareness of the urban environment and its cleanliness, and invited the students to help in this endeavor. The discussion also focused on democracy issues and highlighted the importance of the institution of the Municipal Council of Adolescents and Children, as well as the frequent communication of the citizens with the city authorities. The students learned valuable information for their research within the context of the European programme they are participating in and, as they said, this took place in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere.
The group consisted of: Kirtsiou Emilias, Panidou Sofia, Papafetimiou Olympia, Zirou Anna, Psarras Giannis, students of the second grade. They were accompanied by the teacher-members of the Programme Pedagogical team Axouristou Chara, Liakopoulou Efi and Moschopoulos Tassos.
