TET PROGRAMS FOR INQUISITIVE SCHOOL COMMUNITIES: STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND FAMILIES

Our Educational Programs are designed for inquisitive Educational Communities which look for a unique travelling experience to promote cognitive, self- development and relational competences within their societies.

They are addressed to school, college and university students, teachers and parents, all of whom we consider integral members of a cooperative, productive Educational Community. They aim at creating a Transformative Learning Environment within which participants will develop Critical Thinking and cultivate key life competences, in a most creative, relaxing and joyful way, while travelling all across Crete or other parts of Greece.

They are designed to raise awareness on cultural and historical heritage, environmental and universal humane issues, using transgenerational Greek Art, Literature and Nature as educational tools.

Creating the Transformative Learning Environment, modern active learning pedagogical methods are applied, Artful Thinking routines being one of them. They can be a one topic unit or a multi topic unit. 

Here are some of the thematical units we develop:

1. Minoan palaces, theaters and markets
2. The castles of Crete
3. Mountainous life in Crete: From the caves Zeus was born and raised to the modern “mitata”.
4. Cruising the Dodecanese islands’ castles and myths
5. The triangles of Dorian Temples: Athens- Aegina- Cape Sounio- Delfi

The groups cannot exceed the 20 participants, because with respect to their cultural and educational capital and based on the theories of Inclusive Education, our programs are tailored on the profiles to the participants, therefore, they can never be the same.

They are all designed and coordinated in situ by our pedagogue and adult educator, Eleni Poulla.
