n an effort to sensitize our students to
equality and acceptance of difference
issues, this year our school took part

I in the 3rd Panhellenic digital school
competition “Respecting Diversity-Saying NO
to Bullying” which has been organised by the
British Council in Greece and the Internation-
al Olympic Truce Centre under the auspices of
the Ministry of education. More specifically,
students of Bougas’ Primary school and Jun-
ior high school worked as a team to produce a
5-minute video. Then the video was sent to the
British Council in order for the school to take
part in the competition.
