Assisted by some
innovative
teachers he started this
project,
project,
"school of nature and
colors!" , an
alternative educational model
that fits perfectly in such an
agricultural society as Crete.
A school full of creativity and self management , in which pupils are taught beyond the curriculum how to sing and dance ,perform theatrical plays,raise funds for their school through a vegetable garden and make their activities and campaigns known to the public through their blog and online channel Fourfouras TV!
Lets hope that Angelos initiative will be the step for a next generation educational system.
