Mission X: Train like an Astronaut
“Mission X: Train like an astronaut” is an international educational challenge supervised by ESERO-UK, and supported by the UK Space Agency and the European Space Agency. It focuses on fitness and nutrition and encourages students to train like an astronaut. Through a wide variety of experiential activities, students get to know the world of space, and are informed of the stages of an astronaut’s preparation and his life in space stations, thus developing proper nutrition and fitness standards for their own lives. Young students undertake missions, carry them out and upload their results on the international platform. They score points and complete their “Space Mission” by graduating with honors from “Space School.”
Steps for Life
The Steps for Life program takes place in our kindergarten throughout the school year and it focuses primarily on the development of children’s personal and social skills. It is a comprehensive intervention program which was drawn up taking into account various life skills programs of universities and international organizations approved by the World Health Organization. It is based on the belief that school plays a key role in developing skills such as resilience, inventiveness, proper management of difficult situations, and forming healthy interpersonal relationships, which in turn promote the child’s overall emotional well-being. In this way, through fun activities that really make sense, children cultivate high expectations and prepare for an exciting, productive and positive adult life.
Through the Eyes of the Artists
The educational program “Through the Eyes of the Artists,” which concerns every thematic approach of the daily curriculum, aims to develop cultured individuals who on the one hand will be able to understand and derive pleasure from different works of art, and on the other hand will be able to express themselves through it. As part of the program, children get to know the lives of great painters and approach their most representative works in a variety of ways. They are inspired by paintings and become visual artists themselves who create original works using diverse materials and techniques. Art offers students aesthetic pleasure, but it also offers joy and emotion through it
