This project's aim is to inspire young children about Science, STEM Careers, Ethics and Democracy based on CERN, its Mission, its accomplishments, its contribution to the world and its Democratic Culture.
Methodology:
Inquiry based learning, interdisciplinary approach, teamwork
Procedure:
- Inquire about CERN & learn about CERN, its Mission, its accomplishments, its contribution to society and its people.
- Students will become journalists under the guidance of their teachers and write in teams short articles about CERN and its Democratic Coulture.
- Students will become translators under the guidance of their teachers and in teams translate articles in Greek, English and Turkish.
- Our challenge is to make collaboratively a booklet about The Democratic Coulture of CERN
- We are going to tweet about it with the hashtag #the_Democratic_Culture_of CERN.
- Implement activities inspired by "Playing with Protons", suggested by Tina Nantsou Physicist, resource http://tinanantsou.blogspot.com/
- Get creative and express ourselves

Democratic laws and institutions can only function effectively when they are based on a culture of democracy. For this, education is key. These were the conclusions of the Council of Europe’s Third Summit of Heads of State and Government held in Warsaw in 2005.
- Democracy, as it is commonly interpreted, means a form of governance by or on behalf of the people.
- However, while democracy cannot exist without democratic institutions and laws, these institutions themselves cannot function unless citizens practise a culture of democracy and hold democratic values and attitudes.
- In culturally diverse societies, democratic processes and institutions require intercultural dialogue.
- Intercultural dialogue requires respect for the dignity, the equality and the human rights of other people. It also requires critical reflection on the relationship between the cultural groups to which those involved in the intercultural dialogue belong, and respect for the cultural affiliations of others. In order to participate in intercultural dialogue, citizens require intercultural competence, and respect is a vital component of that competence.
Can we draw inspiration about a Democratic Culture and an Intercultural Dialogue from CERN?
Action 1: Students inquired in the classroom about CERN in teams. The inquiry was guided by the teachers. They took notes for their articles in their creative notebooks. They presented what they had found out in the classroom. We reflected on it.

Action 2: Komotini is a multicultural and multilingual city. Our school is a Minority Primary School. We are going to work on developing a network of students and schools that enhances collaborations and teamwork. Together we are going to get inspired by the "Democratic Culture of CERN" and inspire our community.

Action 3: Students will become journalists under the guidance of their teachers and write in teams short articles about CERN and its Democratic Culture.

2nd Minority Primary School of Komotini: Last school year after having worked on space related projects for 2 years we decided to make a planetarium out of paper and wooden skeleton with the 6th graders. It can host around 30 students. We set it up in the 4th Gymnasium last June and during "Space Week" in 2018. Around 600 students have visited it until now.
