Annual Conference

Το Ετήσιο Συνέδριο του ΣΕΝΒ, που πραγματοποιήθηκε στις 2 Ιουνίου, ήταν επιτυχημένο. Ευχαριστούμε το Κολέγιο Αγίου Ιωάννου για τη φιλοξενία της εκδήλωσης στον ευρύχωρο και άνετο τους χώρο, ο οποίος συνέβαλε σημαντικά στη θετική ατμόσφαιρα της διάσκεψης. Οι ομιλητές ήταν εξαιρετικοί, παρέχοντας πολύτιμες ιδέες και ενθαρρύνοντας την αλληλεπίδραση με το κοινό. Αυτό είχε ως αποτέλεσμα την ενίσχυση των γνώσεων όλων των συμμετεχόντων εκπαιδευτικών. Συνολικά, το συνέδριο πέτυχε τους στόχους του για την προώθηση της επαγγελματικής ανάπτυξης και της συνεργατικής μάθησης μεταξύ των συμμετεχόντων.

​​Olimpia Rosenblum's workshop, "Visual Verse Language Learning," introduces educators to a methodology for creating units of work using Greek poems, short stories, or fables. Participants will explore the visual verse approach, adaptable to Greek, and learn diverse output options and classroom activities. The goal is to develop a library of digital visual stories aligned with curriculum assessments, enhancing teaching effectiveness.
