In the process of disseminating the project we visited the local TV Channel, DION Channel, on the 25th January and we presented the Project, our expectations from it and what we have done so far. We talked about the activities which will follow in the next months and we were asked to go back again with our Basque partners when they are here at the end of the project next year. It was a superb experience for both students and teachers. You can watch the interview in the following links:
Erasmus+ Project "Discover and Share your Identity Mark". 3rd Junior High School of Katerini.
Our project also appeared in the major local newspaper Olympio Vima. The article presents a summary of the project, the activities done so far, games and sports activities as well as language heritage activities. You can see the digital article in the following link.

In our project, we are working the Basque language as part of our cultural heritage . We have taken our students to the Basque language House. It has been a very educational visit and they have enjoyed and learnt a lot of information about the Basque language, they didn´t know. The visit has been a trip, as the one our students are doing during these two years through Erasmus+ project, to understand how the Basque language has endured over 6,000 years and how it has evolved through the different periods of Roman conquest and the medieval wars, right up to the present day.
It is a language isolate, it has no known relatives anywhere in the world. This has led to a number of hypothesis about its origin.
They have listened to the different dialects, learnt how the words are constructed and discoverd what makes a living language.
They will share with our Greek partners all the most curious, unusual and amazing characteristics of the Basque language.
After the visit, they have participated on a digital comic competition and they have created their own comic stories.
