Ολοκληρώθηκε η υποβολή συμμετοχών στο μαθητικό διαγωνισμό της Γενναδείου Βιβλιοθήκης με θέμα «Ο τόπος μου», που διοργανώθηκε με αφορμή τη συμπλήρωση 100 χρόνων λειτουργίας της!

Κάθε τόπος κρύβει μια ιστορία — και μέσα από τα μάτια των μαθητών, αυτές οι ιστορίες ζωντάνεψαν με μοναδικό τρόπο.

Θερμά συγχαρητήρια σε όλους τους μαθητές και τις μαθήτριες για τα εμπνευσμένα έργα τους, καθώς και στους εκπαιδευτικούς που καθοδήγησαν δημιουργικά την προσπάθειά τους.

Οι νικητές και οι νικήτριες θα τιμηθούν σε ειδική εκδήλωση στις 26 Σεπτεμβρίου, ενώ τα βραβευθέντα έργα θα αναρτηθούν στον ιστότοπο της Γενναδείου Βιβλιοθήκης.

Submissions for the student competition organized by the Gennadius Library on the theme “The Place where I come from”, as part of the celebration of the Library’s 100 years of operation, have been completed!

Every place holds a story — and through the eyes of students, those stories came to life in remarkable ways. Congratulations to all the students for their inspiring projects, and to the teachers who guided them throughout this creative journey.

The winners will be honored at a special award ceremony on September 26, and their works will be featured on the Gennadius Library website.
