Arts & Culture Programs
In this section you can find experiential programs on arts and culture topics
Our programs have been designed based on educational needs and the curriculum and can be implemented: on the inside or outside of your school or at the Culture & Education Center The Betterland.
With the completion of each experiential program, each student receives a commemorative gift, while the classroom receives a participation award and the teacher supporting material so that teaching on the topic can be continued in the classroom.

The programs:
Investigating Greek Tradition
The challenge
Getting acquainted with cultural heritage and tradition is an important source of self-awareness and connection between the individual and its environment. And recognizing that both are part of an evolutionary course strengthens the self-esteem of the individual and at the same time its uniqueness in space and time.
The educational goals
The program, in line with Global Goals for Sustainable Development, helps children:
- come in contact with Greek tradition and become familiar with our cultural heritage
- be informed on the customs and traditions in different regions
- realize the importance of protecting and preserving the global cultural heritage
- get stimulated to become valuable followers of our cultural tradition
The approach
Based on the principles of dramatization and using a rich audiovisual material, children come in contact with the Greek tradition, revive customs and folk tales (“The wedding dress that fitted in a walnut” or “The little Greeks”) and by experiencing situations, they dance Greek traditional dances, bringing the custom of marriage to life.
