The NTNG supports the Schools’ Network action, Between Two Worlds: Refugees - Migration (14/04/2016)
The NTNG supports the Schools’ Network action,
Between Two Worlds: Refugees - Migration
organised by the Cultural Affairs Department of the Secondary Education Directorate (SED) of Western Thessaloniki.
The final event-show will be held at the Cultural Centre Christos Tsakiris of the Pavlos Melas Municipality on Thursday, April 21, 2016
I left my grandparents' hearth
And the fire burning with no light.
....................................
All that united me with my childhood friends
Our tied hands in our games,
Our eyes closed as if we were playing Blind man’s bluff.
All of us, young and old, stand embarrassed when faced with the topical issue of refugees and immigration as images of pain, misery and unjust death come to life every day before our very eyes and find their way inside our soul and mind, reminding us of the violence and the absurdity which afflict humanity.
Aiming to inform and raise awareness in young people on the timeless issue of immigration – to and from Greece – and the refugee crisis, and to instill into them the concept of diversity and the importance of solidarity, the Cultural Affairs Department of the Secondary Education Directorate of Western Thessaloniki organised the Schools’ Network action, Between Two Worlds: Refugees - Migration in cooperation with the NTNG.
The schools (7) involved in the Network (the Artistic High School of Ampelokipi, the Ecclesiastic High School and the Ecclesiastic Lyceum of Neapoli, the Intercultural Senior High School of Evosmos, the 4th High School of Sykies, the 2nd Lyceum of Sykies, the 1st High School of Eleftherio-Kordelio and the 1st High School Agios Athanasios) were asked to address the issue through literary or theatrical texts and to convey its multiple aspects by using artistic means of expression, creative writing and theatre games/workshops.
As the main support institution, the National Theatre of Northern Greece has assisted by organising two meetings between the school teams and actors of the NTNG: Efi Drosou, Lilian Palantza, Yolanda Balaoura, Vasilis Karampoulas and Iordanis Aivazoglou, who gave their support by carrying out theatrical activities for the students.
Participating schools will stage in a special event the results of these actions, an event to be held on Thursday, April 21, 2016, 19: 00 - 21: 00. The event is hosted as part of the Festival held by the Pavlos Melas Municipality and will take place at the Christos Tsakiris Cultural Centre.
Dr. Xanthippe Vasiliadou, Head of Cultural Affairs of the SED of Western Thessaloniki, is the Network Coordinator. Mrs.
Maria Tsima
, the Associate Artistic Director of the NTNG, is responsible on behalf of the NTNG.
