CONCENTRATIVE DEPICTION OF STUDENTS HAVING

 

VISITED THE HOLY MONASTERIES OF METEORA

CONCLUSION
    
* The research led us to the conclusion that, while we are so close to Meteora, 48.7% of the    students have not paid a visit with their parents yet.
    
* The 62.7% of schools have visited the monasteries in Meteora.
    * Motivated by the outcomes of this research and constructive dialogue with the students of our school, we decided to take them on a visit to the monasteries of the Meteora rocks through a rather planned itinerary. Our itinerary was named: 'The ever shining lighthouse of Orthodoxy'.

 

The students who participated in this project were:

Xristana Dimitra, Nakou Eleftheria, Kabagianni Kerasia, Xeilimintri Maria, Titonis Basilis, Titonis Dimitris, Sakellariou Axilleas, Theodorakopoulou Christina, Tzardos Christos, Pappas Basilis
