Educational programme for Secondary Education schools
Opera Interactively Into Schools, the exceptionally successful programme for Secondary Education schools, returns renewed for a second year, aspiring to take even more teenagers on an original tour across the enchanting world of opera. The programme’s tour to Junior High Schools all over Greece will be completed in November 2023, counting 85 schools in total, yet the singular experience it offers doesn’t end here. During the 2023/24 school year, the programme will launch the fascinating digital platform Opera Box for those students and educators who wish to be initiated into opera’s irresistibly captivating universe, in an unexpected way. The programme is co-funded by the European Union – European Social Fund (ESF) and National Resources (NSRF 2014-2020) through the Operational Programme “Human Resources Development, Education and Lifelong Learning”.
This year, Opera Interactively Into Schools introduces Opera Box to school classrooms and takes the acquaintance and interaction of teenagers with the lyric art to new heights. Opera Box is a groundbreaking digital platform that will give users the chance for remote participation in the educational programme, along with a delightful experiential tour across the art of opera through an educational and at once entertaining setting. There, they will be able to discover for free the film version of the hilarious opera performance that was created to meet the programme’s educational goals, Kornilios Selamsis’ Offenbach’s La belle Hélène, produced by Foss Productions and directed by Kostis Theodosopoulos, as well as a series of original multimedia and interactive tools that will make the acquaintance of students and educators with opera more fun, while also enriching music teaching: innovative musicological texts on opera, experiential activities, an exciting musical video game, quizzes, video animations, and much more. Moreover, educators who will apply for the programme will have the chance, if they wish so, to attend a 90-minute educational webinar that will help them use Opera Box more easily and guide them on how to make the best use of the rich educational material contained therein, through ideas, proposals and good practices.
