From June 24 to 26, 2025, a creative and inspiring training took place in Messolonghi, Greece as part of the Erasmus+ project
Harmonizing Social Transformations: Mitigating the negative effects of social media through artThe main goal of this project is to empower teachers to address the emotional and social challenges that young people face in the digital age—using artistic methods such as music, visual arts, creative movement and theatre.

Under the title “Harmony of Art and Universal Melodies”, participants explored the power of music as a pedagogical tool.Throughout the three-day training, teachers had the chance to:
create empathy-boosting playlists
join theatre, improvisation, and well-being workshops
observe robotics and science lessons (job shadowing)
work with psychologists and social workers
attend a live concert honoring Greek composer Mimis Plessas
and discover the cultural heritage of Messolonghi
There was also time to connect, reflect, share ideas—and enjoy the Greek sea and local traditions!
This training showed how art can transform classrooms into more human, emotional, and engaging learning spaces.
