Project Mobility: Greece, 3rd-7th December 2022
In the week behind us a project mobility to Greece was held. We visited the city of Drama in Greece. Built on countless springs, as the etymology of its name clearly indicates, Hydrama – Drama, due to the abundance of water. Thus, we had the opportunity to participate in the celebration of the holiday of St. Barbara and release our Common Heritage boat of wishes at the source of the already mentioned waters in the city park Agia Varvara Park named after the church of St. Barbara, which is located nearby. Inevitably, we tasted delicious desserts that the hosts prepare to celebrate St. Barbara. We visited, among other things, Philippi, an archaeological site inscribed on the UNESCO list of material heritage, the Baptistery of St. Lydia and the city of Kavala located by the sea. The hosts also prepared a number of workshops, from designing the boat of wishes, writing a petition to the Goddess Fortune, to making Christmas decorations and engaging mobility participants in musical improvisations at the Rebetiko music workshop at the Music School of Drama. The achievements of the latter are truly impressive, because Drama, a city the size of Kaštela, also has a symphony orchestra, and about 120 music teachers working in the school itself. The natural heritage of Greece, the cave Alistrati and Aggitis, is a story in itself. The crystalline stalagmites and stalactites of incredible colors and shapes, and the river that flows through the Aggitis cave left us breathless. We also visited the house of marble that is extracted from the nearby mountains, and we paid special attention to the Mediterranean diet registered on the UNESCO list of intangible heritage through lectures and workshops.
Our students presented Croatia through a presentation on food, focusing this time more on the north of the country and the tradition of Hrvatsko Zagorje, talking about the tradition of making Liticari Hearts, which we had previously made and given to our peers in Greece.
Needless to say, fan club of the Croatian national football team received reinforcements from the countries participating in the project: Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey and hosting Greece. Music accompanied us all the way, both traditional Greek and fan songs sung by our students from the back of the bus, joined by the participants from other countries, amplifying the vocals. We all celebrated the victory over Japan.
It was an intense week in which we had the opportunity to experience the cultural heritage of Greece, which until then we only had the opportunity to hear about, and now we were convinced of the wealth of material and immaterial aspects of Greek culture. The hosts proved to be extremely accommodating and hospitable, for which we thank them on this occasion again.
