From April 20 to 22, the final Summit of the “EU CHILDOCRACY” program took place in Palermo, Italy. For two days, students from Mandoulides Schools were briefed by scientists, state representatives, members of Palermo’s local government, and Members of the European Parliament on the importance of inclusion and solidarity among the countries of the European Union.
On the first day, students learned about the ways in which they themselves can contribute to safeguarding human rights and ensuring inclusion and participation for all in decision‑making processes; whether within their school community today or their university community in the future.
On the second day, a photography competition was held among students from all participating countries. Students were asked to create and submit an original artistic design depicting solidarity and inclusion within the European Union. In this competition, our student K. Karapantsiou (Grade 11) won 3rd prize.
Throughout their stay, students also had the opportunity to explore the historic city of Palermo, visiting museums, archaeological sites, remarkable churches, and the city’s historic center.
