Collaboration with school authorities (organisation ofevents e.g. book exhibitions, Christmas ceremoniesfinancial maters, etc.)
Project Main idea Until recently, Astromeritis has been a pretty closed
society with most of the people living there all theirlife. In a short period of time, the really small andclosed community has changed demographically in asignificant way (newcomers from Europe, the MiddleEast, Africa, China and the US.), making the locals alittle cautious.
New ideas, methods, customs, and ways of thinkingare all affecting our children and if we as parents donot know how to approach the newcomers, then ourchildren will also not know how to approach them.
