The European Programme Comenius which started on October 2008 and was completed on June 2010 under the title: " 3DTheatre. An experiment of immersive education for classics" concerns cooperation of three schools and in specific the 1st Lyceum of Rhodes, Liceo scientifico statale Plinio seniore of Rome and Lycee Rene Grosse of Clermont l' Herault in France.
The participants in this programme are three teachers and eleven pupils from the 1st and 2nd class (as far as Greece is concerned). For the first months (from December till June) we were seperated in five groups and worked on the following themes: a) The evolution of the building, b) Changes in drama, c) Poets - Greek and Roman, d) Maks, costumes and scenery and e) The drama as social event. We met on Sundays and we discussed and collected material about our themes. We made this website uploading this information.
Another task was the learning of the Blender (Blender is a free open source 3D content creation suite www.blender.org). For this purpose, we were taught the programme in six (6) lessons  and we moved to the recostruction of the ancient theater of Lindos,  something innovative that is presented for the first time and is the product of work of this team. The data about the theater were not adequate, so we had to go to the theater and measure dimensions of the theater.
Also, we were based on the plan of Digve (the archeologist who excavated the theater) to create the koilon and orchestra. We had no elements for the scene.
The second year we studied the diffusion of the theme Medea in different kinds of art. So we read and discussed the the three plays with the title Medea: by Euripides, Seneca and Anouilh. We watched movies and saw paintings and we made and affiche inspired by all these. You can see it here.
The names of the teachers are: Athanasopoulos Panagiotis, Hanlidou Haris, Papandreou Spiridoula.
The names of the pupils are: Beriketaki Rafaela, Dinkas Konstantinos, Galiou Eleftheria, Hatzidimitriou Eleni, Karasava Vasia, Kolokytha Marietta, Nakka Eleni, Ouzounidou Katerina, Rossou Katerina, Tsapali Thania.

We want especially to thank Stergios Vourdolis, teacher of Informatics, who taught us the Blender and helped us to make the 3d reconsruction of the theater.
