A young Greek teacher, Ifigenia Iliopoulou from Anilio, has used Storyline to gain a Master’s degree from Strathclyde University. Her main purpose is to adapt the ideas in the methodology for teaching environmental studies to children in the early stages of education in Greece. She was instrumental in my receiving an invitation to the University of Patras in May 2000 to present a Storyline Seminar organised by Professor Spiras Kriwas and to observe a course given by Ifigenia.
In 1999 Ifigenia gave the following courses:
- A Seminar for Nursery Teachers of the prefecture of Kavala (city of Greece) concerning the implementation of Storyline in Environmental Education
- A lecture in the Thessaly University addressed to nursery and primary teachers on Storyline as a method for teaching environmental concepts and issues
- A Lecture in the First Hellenic Conference on Environmental Education
- A Seminar for nursery teachers in the Centre of Environmental Education in Konitsa (prefecture of Ioannina)
In 2000:
- A lecture in the International Conference for Environmental Education on the evaluation of Storyline method by teachers who experienced this method during their in-service training on Environmental Education
- A Seminar for teachers of all levels of education in the University of Patras
- She is going on to implement Storyline in her classroom this year. A new topic has been designed and will be described later
