On Monday, April 7, and Tuesday, April 8 the second phase of the European Program “Childocracy”, was completed. The initiative is organized by the International Organization EPLO, and E. Mandoulides Schools are proudly participating as the only school representing Greece.
During this two-day event, selected students from 9th and 10th grade, and the Studies Abroad Program (10th grade) engaged with local government and parliament representatives, and held discussions with activists and experts on social issues impacting their local communities. With guidance from specialists and by harnessing their creativity along with the knowledge they had gained from the program, the students designed awareness campaigns aimed at addressing these issues.
