“Multiculturalism in Practice” at DES School — A Celebration of Love, Friendship, and Easter Hope

The DES School is more than just a modern, bilingual European institution; it is a living example of how love and friendship flourish through multicultural understanding. By combining international educational standards (IB) with deep-rooted Greek traditions, DES creates a nurturing space where students grow academically and as compassionate and open-hearted individuals.

In a world that often highlights differences, DES embraces them. Through multilingual learning and inclusive education, students from over 20 countries — from Greece to China, Iran, the USA, and beyond — come together to share, learn, and connect. Here, language is not a barrier but a bridge, and diversity is not a challenge but a celebration.

DES’s small, family-like community encourages strong bonds and meaningful friendships across borders and cultures. Students learn to appreciate each other’s stories, traditions, and values, building a foundation of empathy and love beyond the classroom.

Celebrating international holidays alongside Greek traditions reinforces this spirit of unity — whether it is the joyful rhythms of Chinese New Year, the warmth of Nowruz, or the sparkle of Easter. These shared moments of joy become memories that unite hearts, reminding us that the most beautiful celebrations are those we share.

One of the most cherished traditions is the International Food Festival, where students and families share their favourite dishes and cultural flavours. It is a day full of tastes, laughter, and stories — a true expression of the love that brings the DES community together.

As we welcome the spirit of Easter — a time of renewal, hope, and light — let us carry with us the message that DES teaches every day:

🌸 Friendship knows no borders.

🌍 Love speaks every language.

🐣 And peace begins with understanding.

Happy Easter from the heart of our multicultural family to yours —

With love, unity, and friendship.
