Project number: 612204-EPP-1-2019-1-IT-EPPKA3-IPI-SOC-IN www.enacted.eu 1. Introduction 1.1. The ‘ENACTED’ Project This report is part of the ENACTED project, a European Network of Active Civil Society for Education and Diversity. ENACTED is a 3-year Erasmus+ project involving actions in 4 EU countries and bringing together partners with high expertise and experience in the field of inclusive education which altogether comprise the ENACTED consortium: OXFAM ITALIA (Italy), STIMMULI FOR SOCIAL CHANGE (Greece), CESIE (Italy), ALLILEGGIE SOLIDARITYNOW (Greece), CARDET (Cyprus) and MAGENTA CONSULTORIA PROJECTS SL (Spain). The purpose of the ENACTED project is to support European educational systems and particularly schools to respond effectively to the diverse needs of Newly Arrived Migrant Students (NAMS) fostering their integration in both education and society as prescribed by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4 (UN, 2015), and in line with the European Pillar of Social Rights (EC, 2017) which asserts that ‘Everyone has the right to quality and inclusive education, training and lifelong learning in order to maintain and acquire skills that enable them to participate fully in society and manage successfully transitions’. Particularly, ENACTED aims to facilitate the collection, analysis, exchange, diffusion and evaluation of promising practices of inclusive education implemented by Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) that have become valuable actors in welcoming and providing educational and other services to NAMS and their families during the recent refugee crisis, filling in national and EU policy gaps (Dassis in EESC, 2017). This will be achieved through the following project’s main anticipated results: • the creation and establishment of a new international online networking platform, the ENACTED Inclusive Education Acceleration Online Platform, that will create the space for synergies between CSOs and primary and secondary schools working with NAMS; • the creation of a transnational network of CSOs and schools committed to working together to improve the lives of NAMS and provide inclusive and quality education to all disadvantaged learners; • the identification and diffusion of beneficial educational practices developed by CSOs into the form of a Depository of Innovative Practices for Inclusive Education (DIPIE) that will be part of the project’s Inclusive Education Acceleration Platform acting as a powerful tool for enhancing the professional development of teachers and educators in dealing with NAMS. 1.2. An overview of this report Acknowledging the pressing educational challenges recently created in European countries as a consequence of the recent influx of thousands of migrants and refugees in Europe and the differentiation of European education systems, policies and educational approaches to integrate a particularly diverse group of children with special educational and psychological needs, it is more than evident that a holistic and comprehensive overview of the existing policy contexts, knowledge, needs and challenges on migrant and refugee integration in education at a European and national level is needed. Additionally, laying upon the active involvement of CSOs in the current migration crisis by providing effective responses at a local level to the various challenges connected with the integration of NAMS in education, our project aims to promote the incorporation of CSOs as vital partners and actors in the design and delivery of educational policies and initiatives and support them in becoming more upscaled and effective.

  • The Vlachs of Greece and Their Misunderstood History Helen Abadzi1 January 2004
    The Vlachs of Greece and their Misunderstood History Helen Abadzi1 January 2004 Abstract The Vlachs speak a language that evolved from Latin. Latin was transmitted by Romans to many peoples and was used as an international language for centuries. Most Vlach populations live in and around the borders of modern Greece. The word „Vlachs‟ appears in the Byzantine documents at about the 10th century, but few details are connected with it and it is unclear it means for various authors. It has been variously hypothesized that Vlachs are descendants of Roman soldiers, Thracians, diaspora Romanians, or Latinized Greeks. However, the ethnic makeup of the empires that ruled the Balkans and the use of the language as a lingua franca suggest that the Vlachs do not have one single origin. DNA studies might clarify relationships, but these have not yet been done. In the 19th century Vlach was spoken by shepherds in Albania who had practically no relationship with Hellenism as well as by urban Macedonians who had Greek education dating back to at least the 17th century and who considered themselves Greek. The latter gave rise to many politicians, literary figures, and national benefactors in Greece. Because of the language, various religious and political special interests tried to attract the Vlachs in the 19th and early 20th centuries. At the same time, the Greek church and government were hostile to their language. The disputes of the era culminated in emigrations, alienation of thousands of people, and near-disappearance of the language. Nevertheless, due to assimilation and marriages with Greek speakers, a significant segment of the Greek population in Macedonia and elsewhere descends from Vlachs.

  • Greece: Media Concentration and Independent Journalism Between
    Chapter 5 Greece Media concentration and independent journalism between austerity and digital disruption Stylianos Papathanassopoulos, Achilleas Karadimitriou, Christos Kostopoulos, & Ioanna Archontaki Introduction The Greek media system reflects the geopolitical history of the country. Greece is a medium­sized European country located on the southern part of the Balkan Peninsula. By the middle of the nineteenth century, it had just emerged from over four centuries of Ottoman rule. Thus, for many decades, the country was confronted with the task of nation­building, which has had considerable consequences on the formation of the over­extended character of the state (Mouzelis, 1980). The country measures a total of 132,000 square kilometres, with a population of nearly 11 million citizens. About 4 million people are concentrated in the wider metropolitan area of the capital, Athens, and about 1.2 million in the greater area of Thessaloniki. Unlike the population of many other European countries, almost all Greeks – about 98 per cent of the popu­ lation – speak the same language, modern Greek, as their mother tongue, and share the same Greek Orthodox religion. Politically, Greece is considered a parliamentary democracy with “vigorous competition between political par­ ties” (Freedom House 2020). Freedom in the World 2021: status “free” (Score: 87/100, up from 84 in 2017). Greece’s parliamentary democracy features vigorous competition between political parties […]. Ongoing concerns include corruption [and] discrimina- tion against immigrants and minorities. (Freedom House, 2021) Liberal Democracy Index 2020: Greece is placed in the Top 10–20% bracket – rank 27 of measured countries (Varieties of Democracy Institute, 2021). Freedom of Expression Index 2018: rank 47 of measured countries, down from 31 in 2016 (Varieties of Democracy Institute, 2017, 2019).

  • Teacher Training in Greek Reception Facilities for Refugee Education*
    DOI: 10.31458/iejes.605255 International e-Journal of Educational Studies (IEJES) Research Article “The Teacher is not a Magician”: Teacher Training in Greek Reception Facilities for Refugee Education* Marina MOGLI 1 Sotiria KALBENI 2 Lida STERGIOU 3 Abstract Greek Reception Facilities for Refugee Education (RFREs) operated for the first time in Greece during the school year 2016-2017, as a result of the need of refugee children to participate in formal education either in the refugee reception centers or in school units, with the purpose of their educational integration. The aim of this study is to examine the process and criteria with which teachers in RFREs were chosen and the training they received. The research participants were seven teachers and one Refugee Education Coordinator (REC) in the cities of Volos and Larisa, Greece. Through semi-structured interviews, the participants expressed the challenges they faced which resulted from receiving insufficient training in teaching refugee children. Based on the study findings, it can be concluded that the lack of training of teachers working in RFREs causes multiple problems, which impede educational procedures. It was found that the teachers were not able to successfully approach their refugee students so as to create the prerequisites for the children to be smoothly integrated into the Greek educational system. Lack of skills for students’ psychological support and communication difficulties due to lack of a language of mediation also causes many issues which obstruct the educational process. Keywords: Refugee children, refugee education, teacher training 1. INTRODUCTION More and more people nowadays cross borders looking for peace, security or a better standard of living.

  • Enquiring the Nature of Pelasgic Language(S) Via Information Systems Modelling
    ISSN (Online): 2455-3662 EPRA International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research (IJMR) - Peer Reviewed Journal Volume: 6 | Issue: 8 | August 2020 || Journal DOI: 10.36713/epra2013 || SJIF Impact Factor: 7.032 ||ISI Value: 1.188 ENQUIRING THE NATURE OF PELASGIC LANGUAGE(S) VIA INFORMATION SYSTEMS MODELLING Evangelos C. Papakitsos Academic staff, Department of Industrial Design & Production Engineering, University of West Attica, Egaleo Athens, Greece ABSTRACT The term “Pelasgic” refers herein to the language(s) spoken by the Pelasgian people, who were considered by ancient Greek scholars as indigenous inhabitants of the prehistoric Aegean region and Greece. Both the existence of a single Pelasgian nation and the very language itself has been disputed. The relevant argumentation for and against includes diverse evidences from archaeology, anthropology, ethnography and linguistics. In order to facilitate the classification, interconnection and interpretation of so diverse relevant tokens for enquiring the nature of Pelasgic language(s), the application of Information Systems modelling in Humanities is demonstrated in this paper. The implementation of the preferred modelling method, named OMAS-III, denotes that Pelasgic exists as an Indo-European language that most probably belongs to the Anatolian family, something that will potentially require the internal revision of the linguistic taxonomy of the latter. This implementation also indicates, with caution, that remnants of Pelasgic have survived in a small fraction of the Albanian vocabulary that practically coincides with the endangered dialect of the Arvanitan Greeks (which is called Arvanitics herein), still spoken by elders at southern Greece. KEYWORDS: Pelasgic, Pelasgian, Information Systems modelling, Anatolian languages, OMAS-III, Albanian, Arvanitan Greeks, Arvanitics.

The first chapters demonstrate how anti- austerity movements in both Greece and Italy were incorporated into fringe party politics with populist platforms. It then traces the electoral success of two particular parties, SYRIZA in Greece and the Five Star Movement in Italy, and their coalition governments. The following section assesses how anti-austerity coalitions of populist parties govern in member states of the European Union—specifically, when do these parties fulfill or diverge from their anti-austerity promises? I argue that fringe parties that emerged out of anti-austerity movements are more likely to diverge from their populist politics under two conditions: when they experience increased Europeanization and/or when faced heightened competency costs on the domestic level.
