As part of the Erasmus+ Exchange between Greece and Sweden, our school welcomed Swedish students for a week of learning, collaboration, and cultural exchange. The visit brought together Greek and Swedish students in a variety of enriching activities — from friendly football matches that built teamwork and connection, to joint academic projects that deepened intercultural understanding. Together, students compared two documentaries — one about Greece and one about Sweden — analysing how filmmakers use sound, colour, and imagery to construct different versions of “reality,” and reflecting on the shared and unique aspects of their cultures. In a special Erasmus Observation Lesson with our Year 9 class, participants explored rhetorical speech through ethos, pathos, and logos, inspired by Sophocles’ Antigone. By performing key speeches from Antigone and Creon, students brought ancient drama to life and discovered how classical thought continues to resonate in modern European education. This vibrant exchange embodied the Erasmus spirit—learning through dialogue, creativity, and friendship across borders.
