During our visit a local traditional dance group – Culture Club- (no nothing to do with Boy George) performed some Greek dances for us, and also encouraged us to join in. We had a great time and managed to pick up the steps well. See how we got on ……!

Almost 40 teachers and some pupils from our project counties had a wonderful welcome the pupils and staff of the school in Dispilio near Kastoria.
They performed with music, song and dance and also played some instruments too, supported by teacher Nikos on guitar.
We were also welcomed officially by Alexandra and a couple of advisor people. The welcome was very warm and friendly. Later we had a meal of Greek food prepared by staff.
During our visit to the school in Anagni the teachers from around Europe worked with Italian pupils in a variety of activities. Colleagues from the Project could give a presentation about their schools or country, or teach traditional songs and dances from their countries.
The pupils really enjoyed our visit and taking part in the activities that we had prepared. But teachers from our project really enjoyed working with the Italian pupils too. Some of the classes had another presentation prepared for their guests, for example a dance, a song, introductions and explanations in English about their area. The pupils English speaking is excellent and this was an ideal opportunity for them to test their talking and understanding.
Well done and many thanks to all for the wonderful welcome.
Here there is a movie of the welcome the class gave to Scottish teachers, with introductions, geography and baking demonstrations, all done in English, with a traditional dance to finish.
Scottish teachers introduced the Italian pupils to the Scottish Dance, the Gay Gordons, which they tried well, but here you can see them singing the Scottish song ‘Everywhere We Go’ with an Italian twist!
