Primary School of Volakas - Year 3 and Year 5.
The chosen community was situated around the primary school of the village of Volakas in Drama, during the morning hours before the start of the school day. The children identified various elements of their surroundings, including the sound of the river flowing, the melodic tweets of birds, the rhythmic chiming of cowbells in the adjacent fields, the robust gusts of wind, and the distinctive echoes of explosions from the nearby marble quarries, for which Volakas is renowned. These experiences formed their connection to the environment and sparked new possibilities for creative interpretation.
