School of English - AUTh

Τhe 3^rd Experimental Primary School of Evosmos was officially founded in 2011. The school is supervised by the School of English Language and Literature, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and it is the only Experimental School in Greece supervised by a foreign language department. The school is located in Western Thessaloniki, a socio-economically disadvantaged area of the city; the selection of this area by the School of English was intentionally made so as to address the needs of its population and support its development. Today, the 3rd Experimental Primary School of Evosmos is the only Experimental Primary School in Western Thessaloniki.

The Supervisory Committee of the School (EPES) was appointed in 2019 and consists of:

• Chair: Prof Marina Mattheoudakis, School of English Language and Literature, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
• Education Coordinator: Ioannis Trikkaliotis
• Head of School: Evangelos Drosos
• Teacher: Odysseas Knavas

In 2016-2017, the 3rd Experimental Primary School of Evosmos was granted an Erasmus+ fund (272,730 euros) for CLILPrime Project. The duration of the project was 3 years.

The CLILPrime project (http://clilprime.com/)  brought together educators from five European schools and researchers from a Greek University Department in an effort to provide the educational community with further research data concerning CLIL implementation across several European countries and different educational contexts. It aimed at calibrating CLIL's implementation, following a bottom-up approach, and articulating the approaches of practitioners while adhering to current pedagogic theory.
