Our job at Zeuxis involves the empowering of the unaccompanied minors in our care, the preparation for their intergration and also their education in everyone's differences, the knowledge of whatever is "foreign" and the recognition of the value of cultures and customs, no matter where they come from. To that end, the beneficiaries of OIKOS split into groups depending on their origins and each team prepared and showcased how they celebrate the arrival of the new year, which customs and traditions are celebrated, and which traditional sweets and dishes are enjoyed in each place. They also showed photographs of the celebrations and the countries.
Santa Claus came to Fivos this year as well! After spreading gifts and joy to the chilren, there was dancing and singing from young and old.
Happy New year to everyone!

Στο Πειραματικό Γυμνάσιο Διαπολιτισμικής Εκπαίδευσης Α Αθήνας διοργανώθηκε μία όμορφη γιορτή όπου τα παιδιά έφεραν φαγητά από τις χώρες καταγωγής τους και πέρασαν υπέροχα, όπως φαίνεται από τα χαμόγελα όλων. The school's director, Ms. Daphne Gavrili is litereally and figuratively hugging our children and has created an inclusive enviroment for learning. Merry Christmas to everyone!
