6th Junior High School of Larissa,Greece

6o GYMNASIO LARISAS is a Public Secondary (Junior High) school situated in Larissa, Thessaly.  Our school consists of 339 students ,some of them are not from Greece and there are some  confronting Learning Disorders and 63 teachers. Our students are from 13 to 15 years old and the majority of them belong  to low-income families. 

To help our students obtain a European vision and aim to a better financial future for themselves the last few years we started getting actively involved in eTwinning projects and obtained several awards of excellency in maths and foreign languages exams organised by sectors approved by the Greek Ministry of Education. In fact the 6th Junior High School of Larissa has a long tradition in European eTwinning programs, which began in 2011 and continues to this day. During these years, students and teachers have gained valuable experience from these collaborations, exchanging good practices. With eTwinning, the use of foreign languages ​​is encouraged, students become familiar with the use of technology and the internet, which they learn to use positively, they gain more interest in teaching subjects, they discover the positive aspects of collaboration (online or not) and they become more creative.The European eTwinning projects implemented in our school are either integrated into the school timetable or take place immediately after school hours, depending on the needs of the students and each project.

Since 2018, due to the many successful programs implemented in our school, we have been awarded the honorary eTwinningSchool award. Moreover, our school was awarded with the eTwinning School Label 2025-2026.
