In this project, are participating 5 schools, from Ireland, Greece and United Kingdom: Loreto College from Dublin, Ireland, the 2nd High School of Alexandroupolis, the 1st High School of Lavrion, from Greece, the Devonport High School for Girls, Plumouth, from UK and the 3rd High School of Thermi, Thessaloniki, from Greece too. The participating students are 12 – 16 years old and the project is made in English language, as you can see. The projects title and purpose: to understand and to share our cities’ common maritime identity, by studying our cities' past, present and future, sharing information, activities, discussion, or even vision. More specifically we intended to Know and understand our partners's cultural & historical background by studying the history of each city through its port. We would like to practice foreign language through using English in students’ and teachers’ communication. We wanted to use ICT for research. And above all, we were eager to collaborate with teachers and students from other countries, playing games, answering questions, getting to know each others' identity and all that in the Twinspace platform. Studying our history, researching our present and planning our future, we used material, form questionnaires, quiz, playing electronic games, building our cities' famous "symbols". One of the projects’ “products” is this electronic book, that we hope you will enjoy.

It is next to the eastern boards between Greece and Turkey. The natural board is Evros river. Alexandroupolis is in the north of Greece, only 2 hours away from Salonika. OLD CITY The city was founded as Dedeagach ( Greek: Δεδεαγάτς). The name was based on a local tradition of a wise old man or dede who spent much of his time in the shade of a local tree and was eventually buried beside it. Dedeagach remained the official name of the city.In 1920 it was renamed Alexandroupoli in honor of King Alexander I of Greece. The lighthouse of Alexandroupolis The lighthouse of Alexandroupolis was built by the French and the operation began on June 1, 1880. This lighthouse would facilitate and help the local sailors but also all the sailors going to and coming from nearby ports. Therefore, a rocky cylindric tower with wide base was built. The lanterns were made after a contract with the Turkish Government which controlled the area in that period of time. It is not certain how long it took them to end with the construction. It started to lit for the first time in 1st June 1880.At the very beginning, it worked with acetylene, and later with petroleum . Since 1974 it works using electricity. Repairs and refits in the lighthouse were made in 1946 and 1955. Port of Alexandroupolis Since the beginning of last century, the major powers of the period recognized the enormous strategic importance the region had and the northern neighbors decided to build a large port in Alexandroupolis. Naturally their main objective was the implementation of geopolitical strategy already based on the creation of fast transport via railways and ports. The construction of the port of Alexandroupolis began in the 19th century, after the strong efforts of the French railways. The railway station The building of a railway station in Alexandroupolis led to the development of the village into a town, and a minor trade centre by the end of the century. That lasted until the Balkan Wars. On 8 November 1912, the town and its station were captured by Bulgarian forces .Bulgary and Greece were allies during the First Balkan War, but opponents in the Second Balkan War. The Treaty of Lausanne (24 July 1923) affirmed that Western Thrace and Alexandroupolis would be controlled by Greece. A previous agreement allowing a Bulgarian presence in the town port had expired. Our city today Then Now Nowadays the population of our city is about 70.000 residents according to the census of 2011. It’s the result from the merging of municipalities, preexisting Alexandroupolis, Agnadia, Amphitriti and Traianoupoli and Feres. Its population after 100-200 years has definetely been increased Education Alexandroupoli houses four Departments of the Democritus University of Thrace (based in Komotini). These Departments are the following: Department of Medicine, Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Department of Primary Level Education and Department of Education Sciences in Pre-School Age The city has a network of public schools, from nurseries to high schools, under the responsibility of the city council (though the student are subjects under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education). Languages spoken by the citizens include: Greek, English, Russian, Bulgarian, Armenian, German, and Turkish. Transport Alexandroupoli is served by Dimokritos International Airport It is one of the busiest airports in Greece and a main hub for Olympic Airways and Aegean; there are 6 daily flights to Athens, and also flights to Crete, while during the summer months some seasonal flights operate to\from Germany and Russia. The airport is connected to the city by highway, taxi services and scheduled bus services. The port of Alexandroupolis has been used principally by travellers. There are daily services to the Island of Samothraki and a weekly Trans-Aegean service to all the eastern islands of the Aegean, with the final destination of the island of Rhodes. Trains run frequently to Thessaloniki and Athens, Burgas in Bulgaria and Edirne or Istanbul in Turkey. There is an extensive network of train and bus replacements services throughout the region of Evros. The bus network is much more extensive and frequent. Hourly buses to the major municipalities within Macedonia and Thrace offered from the Regional Coaches KTEL as well as daily services to Bulgaria and Turkey. Touristic attractions: 1. The lighthouse(the most famous landmark of the city 2. Evros Delta(one of the most famous wetlands in Greece with rare kinds of birds) 3. Dadia forest ( a protected area by V.V.F.) 4. Samothraki island Evros River According to Plutarch, the Evros River took its name after the son of the mythic king of Thrace, Kassandros. Kassandros separated Krotoniki and married Damasippi, which fell in passionate love with her stepson Evros. He rejected her love and she, in revenge, defamed Evros to Kassandros, that he supposedly tried to rape her. Kassandros persecuted him to kill him and Evros fell and drowned in the waters of Romvos River. Since then, the area and its history are identified with the name of the tragic young man. The diviner and fa- ther of all gleemen, who lived here, Orpheas, son of Apollo or of the king of Thrace, lagros and the muse, Kalliopi, organized the Orphic mysteries and the relevant events. Sitting there, at the bank of Evros River", as Aristophanis wrote, the initiated laid the foundations for the brilliant development of Evros throughout time and history. The ancient Greeks believed that Evros was the biggest river in the world. Alkeos named it "the most beautiful of all rivers", Evripides "argiroritis", Plinios "chrysorroun". Till today, Evros and its tributaries -Ardas, Erythropotamos, Tountzas, Erginis- keep almost untouched and unalterable this heritage of many centuries. The Evros Delta is a crossroad. Here the fresh waters of the rivers are mixed with the sea. Here, Europe meets Asia At the Evros Delta there are 46 fish species, 40 mammal species, 28 reptile and amphibian species At least 77 bird species find shelter and other 145 species hibernate. Almost 316 bird species have been recorded (among the 442 species throughout Greece) Countless migrant birds pass by in spring and autumn. The Forest of Dadia The Forest of Dadia predominates almost in the middle of the prefecture of Evros, 14 km southeast to Soufli and 66 km from ALexandroupoli, covering the south east hills of the mountain mass of Rodopi. The area was declared protected in 1980 and includes two zones of strict protection, of total area 72.900 stremmata. The forest cluster is a landscape with wide diversity. The quiet hills are grooved by several ravines and smalt rivers, the forests of pines and oaks are discontinued by small glades and alternate with meadows, pastures and cultivations, whereas slopes and rocks emerge unexpectedly. The forests of this area include perennial trees of black and hard pine, whereas the meadows are full of wild flowers, such as yellow flags, anemones, orchids and peonies. More than 45 mammal species find shelter at the dense clusters of the forest, such as wolves, jackals, roe deer, squirrel, bats, etc. The herpetofauna that constitutes the main food of raptors includes 40 different species (snakes, frogs, turtles, lizards, etc). One may find the Ecotourist Centre of Dadia Nature. The Forest is famous for its rich and, in many cases, unique flora and fauna, and especially for the presence of raptors. The presence of such a variety of raptors and the fact that the largest percentage of the most rare species, such as the black vulture, the lanner falcon and buteo rufinus nest at the area, render the Forest of Dadia unique in Europe Thracian Sea -Beaches The Thracian Sea is that which embraces and offers its caress to the marvelous beaches of Evros.

  • A Report on Preventing Any Further Desecration of the Jewish Cemetery of Thessaloniki, Greece Findings, Concerns and Recommendations
    A Report on Preventing any Further Desecration of the Jewish Cemetery of Thessaloniki, Greece Findings, Concerns and Recommendations Prepared for Asra Kadisha, Conference of Academicians for the Protection of Jewish Cemeteries and the Central Rabbinical Congress July 2008 By David Rubel Jewish Cemetery of Thessaloniki, Greece Findings, Concerns and Recommendations 2 BACKGROUND 1. The old Jewish cemetery of Thessaloniki is being desecrated by construction under the authority of the City of Thessaloniki and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The cemetery was once the largest Jewish cemetery in the world and is located in a city that was home to one of longest continuous Jewish communities only to be destroyed during the Nazi occupation in World War II. The Asra Kadisha (Committee for the Preservation of Gravesites), the leadership of the Jewish community of Greece, as well as other Jewish organizations dedicated to the preservation of cemeteries abroad, have all strongly protested the desecration of the Jewish cemetery as violation of their religious beliefs. All of these organizations have stated that construction is taking place inside the boundaries of the Jewish cemetery..All construction work of a new Metro station and a campus building should be halted immediately. CURRENT DESECRETION 2. Until an authoritative and unbiased map is finally produced of the Jewish cemetery of Thessaloniki, all construction in contested areas should stop immediately. An area of land with such great religious and historical significance deserves a full and exhaustive research undertaking. A professional land survey and thorough historical investigation are essential. Just from the research that we have conducted on the cemetery, it is abundantly clear that there is compelling evidence that significantly differs from the United States Consulate General Office in Thessaloniki (which is based on mapping from the Survey Office of Thessaloniki in 1936 and cannot be judged an objective party).

Georges Fréris, pour ses conseils, ma mère pour son soutien moral et Francisco, sans lequel ce travail n’aurait jamais fini. A la mémoire de ma tante Maria, qui a su résister « Que croyez-vous que soit un artiste? Un imbécile qui n’a que des yeux s’il est peintre, des oreilles s’il est musicien, ou une lyre à tous les étages du cœur s’il est poète, ou même, s’il est boxeur, seulement des muscles ? Bien au contraire, il est en même temps un être politique, constamment en éveil devant les déchirants, ardents ou doux événements du monde, se façonnant de toute pièce à leur image. Comment serait-il possible de se désintéresser des hommes et, en vertu de quelle nonchalance ivoirine, de se détacher d’une vie qu’ils vous apportent si copieusement ? Non, la peinture n’est pas faite pour décorer les appartements. C’est un instrument de guerre offensive et défensive contre l’ennemi. »1 1 Paul Éluard, Anthologie des écrits sur l’art, Éditions Cercle d’Art, 1987, p. 21.
