ANNOUNCEMENT-INVITATION
The Region of Crete, the Regional Administration of Primary & Secondary Education of Crete, the Foundation for Research & Technology-Hellas (FORTH/ IACM), Holly Theological School of Halki, the Orthodox Academy of Crete and the Secondary School Directors’ Association of Cyprus organize the European Educational Conference “Mediteranean Sea Connects Us: Progress in Education with Local Communities” in the period of 9-13 December 2015, at Chania Crete in Greece, in English language. Invited speakers and discussants will be teachers and researchers of Primary, Secondary and Higher Education from Cyprus, Romania, Italy, Turkey, Spain and Greece, who were collaborators in the past and intend to be partners in the future in educational and training projects of Science and Technology for the progress of local communities. The target of the Conference is building up joint educational projects which will introduce a more participatory, interdisciplinary, innovative and creative way of teaching and learning of formal and non-formal Education, in the frame of the Education for the Sustainable Development.


In the paths of exploration and discovery, we shall attempt to map the unknown in Mediterranean societies which have played a crucial role in the life and development of Europe and the world. To explore the multilevel relationship of Mediterranean societies which are rapidly changing due to geopolitical, digital and post-economic, social, political and cultural conditions developed by the paths opened by water, land and air, in the past and to our days. Greece is a European country in the southern Europe, a Mediterranean, and a Balkan one, having close traditional bonds with the Black Sea, having at the same time strong ties with the Middle East and the Arab world, which is an added value for the European perspective.
In 2014, Greece and Italy who had the Presidency of the Council of the European Union declared 2014 "Year of the Mediterranean" in order to work together in the framework of the Integrated Maritime Policy to promote activities in the south neighborhood of Europe. Sea is a key element of the Greek identity and of European history. It can be a horizontal priority for the Mediterranean populations and a factor of growth and collaboration in Europe, an area of common research, a vehicle for Education, Science and Culture.
The European Educational Conference “Mediteranean Sea Connects Us: Advancing Education with Local Communities” addresses executives, present and future of all Educational levels interested in collaborating and sharing knowledge and experience in Science, Education, Technology, Entrepreneurship, in an effort to overcome the crisis of values, structures and meanings additionally the economics for better quality of life and progress of the communities. The Conference aims to open Crete to the Mediterranean Educational society, to the world, via collaborations and partnerships, bearing in mind the words of Socrates ''I am not an Athenian or a Greek citizen, but a citizen of the world''. To expand the boundaries of the mind, the horizons of thought and the criticisms in most untrodden paths of investigation and discovery, promoting the values of Education for Sustainable Development.
The Conference is open as respect to content, methodology and participants, who will be both trainers and trainees. It will be co-constructed and linked to other educational and training actions and projects. The sessions will include presentations, discussions, workshops, peer learning activities, visits and cultural happenings for various disciplines from the three education levels. We expect the participants will deliberate in an experimental way on theoretical and practical issues of scientific and pedagogical guidance.
Looking forward seeing in Chania, Crete numerous participants to this Educational Conference. We believe that the energy that will be accumulated for 4 days in western Crete will take again Daedalus and Icarus off Crete, on modern and strong wings….
