1st – 7th May 2022 – Greek Culinary Culture for the Czech Republic, Italy and Bulgaria

Kalimera! Hello from Greece

Everyone who attended Gymnasium Nikaias was very lucky because the Greeks are very warm hosts and they had a wonderful program for us. They are proud of their history, ancient monuments and national cuisine. They introduced us to everything with great enthusiasm. Together with students from partner schools in Targivishte and Gallarate we visited unique Meteora monasteries built on rocks, royal tombs in Vergina, several museums where real archaeologists taught us about history. 

We experienced the atmosphere of Greek seaside resorts of Volos and Platamonas, evening bars and Greek national dances. We climbed to the top of Mount Olympus and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. A Greek team has prepared an excursion to a family factory that produces feta cheese. Greek grandmothers showed us how to make savory cakes with feta cheese, and we also tried to make them. Last day we met a herbalist and homeopath Karina, she told us about herbs and how to use them in everyday life, we collected herbs together and created macerates using alcohol and olive oil. And at the end we had to say Good Bye… We recommend everyone to see Greece, it is a beautiful country full of warm and open people.

4th – 8th April 2022 – Czech Science for Greece

From May 4th to 8th 2022 we welcomed a group of Greek students and their teachers at LSG. The Erasmus + program „Let’s learn from others“ was  packed with workshops from physics, biology and chemistry.  Exploring the sights of Letohrad, Pardubice and Prague was also included as well as  various leisure activities. We organized a farewell party during which we cooked together and learned national dances and presented our favorite songs. We all had a great time during the whole week.

14th – 18th March 2022 – Aeronautics for Bulgaria and Greece

Kalimera! Hello from Greece

Students and teachers from No 2 Secondary School “Prof. Nikola Marinov” in Targovishte, Bulgaria and Greek students and their teachers from Gymnasio Nikaias had the unique opportunity to catch a glimpse of the world of aviation.

It happened during our visit from 14th to 18th March to Istituto Vinci -our partner school under the Erasmus+ project „Let’s learn from others“. Yes, we did learn a lot from the lectures of former pilots, we even had our first steps in piloting both military and civil aircrafts (of course simulators). We had a great time in Varese, at Leonardo da Vinci Museum of Science and Technology in Milan, at Volandia-one of the largest aviation museums in Europe with more than a hundred aircrafts of all kinds.

We came back home with unforgettable memories, highly appreciating the opportunities Erasmus + Programme gives the students to learn, to communicate, to get to know new cultures and to make new friends.

15th December 2021 – LSG at Istituti Vinci

In the week from 6 December to 12 December 2021, we visited Istituti Vinci Aviation and Language School in Italy as part of the Erasmus+ program. We attended many interesting lectures in the field of aviation and natural sciences. We also visited many sights and museums, such as the Duomo di Milano, Leonardo da Vinci Museum of Science and Technology in Milan, one of the largest aviation museums in Europe with more than a hundred planes in Volandia and the beautiful Lake Como. We also tried flight simulators, so we became more advanced air transport users. We love delicious Italian cuisine, because we really enjoyed eating out in Italian restaurants. We all enjoyed our stay, we definitely recommend participating in other Erasmus + events.

Many thanks to our Italian friends from LSG studetns!
