36th Primary School of Heraklion-Melina's School

In 1994, Melina Merkouri started the "MELINA - Education and Culture" Program.
It's aim was to upgrade the role of Arts and Culture in the educational process.
It gave, through the possibilities of art (Music, Theatre, Dance, Movement, Visual and Audiovisual expression), an opportunity to perceive the world, emotions, knowledge, events globally, acquiring the ability of multiple readings during communication.

The 36th Primary School of Heraklion - Melina's school was one of the 100 schools in Greece and Cyprus that successfully implemented this program and continues to this day to be a beacon of freedom and culture, sharing Melina's vision with students and teachers.
