The 14th Festival of Digital Creation

The VIII Kindergarten of Larissa, Thessaly, Greece, a member of Iter Vitis, carried out a pilot project with children aged 3 to 5 years.

Over a period of six months, and through various activities, they  explored the tradition of winemaking. From archaeology to art, digital  applications to music and dance, the children discovered the magic of  winemaking as part of their local tradition. They also met with  producers, visited wineries, and even created their own wine. The  children prepared handicraft outputs, studied ancient Greek, and  participated in a version of the ancient Symposium, dressed as ancient  Gods of Olympus. This exciting journey was made possible thanks to the competence of  the teachers and the foresight of the director. The Larissa project serves as a pilot for other European schools, with  the first exchange scheduled to take place with Tuscany next June. It  is our civic duty to transmit to younger generations, starting from  their early years in school, the importance of agriculture and  viticulture as part of the European legacy and identity. Using art,  creativity, and music, the Iter Vitis project in Larissa demonstrated  not only to the children but also to their families how crucial it is  to use imagination to raise awareness about their roots, civil sense,  and respect for the environment.
