Methods of learning

This program has nothing to do with the formal teaching you have had until now!

It has been created based on techniques of “non-formal learning” and on continuous feedback between participants and instructors of the program. The learning takes place outside of specific areas or organizations of obligatory learning, e.g. schools, and is a result of activities, needs and interests of a person.

All classes are interactive and creative, through workshops, simulations and lively debates on various issues. There are other activities as well: excursions to surrounding sites and to Knossos (birth of Europe), intercultural role-plays, sport championships (tennis, football, basketball, etc.), going to the beach and having fun together at country parties almost every evening, making every minute enjoyable and exciting. The participants thus create their own community, and through guided educational interaction develop their leadership capabilities, citizenship principles, trust and understanding for their peers from the other parts of our world.
