4/4/2025 – Vocational Upper Secondary School of Messene
What is the relationship between the Pythagorean theorem and planting?
How deep do we plant each plant?
What kind of seedlings should we plant in the school environment?
These and many more were taught to us by the students of the Agriculture Specialization of Vocational Upper Secondary School of Messene along with their teachers Pelagia Ntispiraki and Marina Kalogeraki.
They planted in the courtyard and in the pocket park that they have already created, fruit trees and aromatic plants in the outdoor area of their school!!!
The next tree planting station will be the schools of Kalamata, in the coming days, in the framework of the Erasmus+ TELL YOUTH project in which the Kalamata Education Centre for Environment and Sustainability participates.
