CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS IN GREECE
During Christmas we use to celebrate :
1) By decorating our homes traditionally with a ship (a Greek custom) as Greece is a country surrounded by sea instead of a Christmas tree (although lately Christmas trees have also come into our lives).
2) We eat traditional sweets called Melomakarona, Kourabiedes and Diples. The first and last have as a main ingredient honey. The second are covered all over with sugar.
3) For the celebration of New Year we make a special cake called Vasilopita. In it we place a coin and the one who finds it is considered to be lucky throughout the year.
4) Our traditional Christmas dish is roast stuffed turkey with chestnuts.

VISITING A GIRLS' ORPHANAGE FOR CHRISTMAS
During Christmas in every school in Greece teachers and students who can afford it buy different food products and we collect used but in good condition clothes and take them as a present to an institution in need. This year in connection to our programme, which gave emphasis to human relationships as well, we decided to offer these products to a girls' orphanage in Patras.

RELATIONSHIPS AMONG PEOPLE (PART 1)
After talking with the Greek students on the positive and negative aspects of human communication and relationships and the bad role mass media plays on it as people have become isolated a number of activities followed :
1) They created some drawings.
2) They planted seeds from a flower called CROCUS which is a reminder of the Jewish Massacre and has become since then a symbol of solidarity, friendship and peace against racism and xenophobia.
