Read about Women's Day

Do you know how it all started? 

Read about Women's World Day and its connection to the protest against war as described in the UNA-Canada site and find a vast array of information and photos about women's history and achievements in the websites listed here:

'Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.'

A school of nature and colors!



An absolutely alternative perspective of education grows just 
a few miles away from Rethymno in Fourfouras village.

This project is an inspiration of Angelos Passias, a young 

and talented pedagogue 

who identified that there is a huge 

barrier between society and schools 

and his vision is their conjunction , a 

school that respect its students where 

kids would develop and express their personality and will not 

feel isolated or alone.


Assisted by some 

innovative 

teachers he started this 

project,

"school of nature and 
colors!" , an 

alternative educational model 

that fits perfectly in such an 

agricultural society as Crete.

A school full of creativity and self management , in which pupils are taught beyond the curriculum how to sing and dance ,perform theatrical plays,raise funds for their school through a vegetable garden and make their activities and campaigns known to the public through their blog and online channel  Fourfouras TV!

Lets hope that Angelos initiative will be the step for a next generation educational system.
