REPATRIATED AND MIGRANT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN ACTION

In the book I talk about the students at the Intercultural Education junior and senior high School that operated in Thessaloniki since 1985. This school is attended by Greek and migrant students from abroad.
In the three school years (1995-1997), the parents and students of the Greek Kassandrou School created tensions by applying pressure on the State to move the Intercultural Education students from the school complex on Kassandrou St. where they were being hosted. This book describes all mobilisations carried out by the repatriated and migrant students, from the very beginning of the tension until they were finally forced to move school.
The historical information contained in the book has been drawn from the archives of the Hellenic Parliament, the press of Thessaloniki, and my personal diary and photo archive.
The book includes the following events:
-A student peaceful walk of protest in the center of Thessaloniki that signaled the end of an era, the ten-year operation of the Intercultural Education School in the school complex on Kassandrou St.
-The questions asked at Parliament by MPs, Yannis Katsaros, Gerasimos Aravanis, Petros Kounalakis and Georgios Rokos in favor of the rights of students at the Intercultural Education School and regarding the dangers to the health of these students and their teachers from the electric company’s high-tension wires on the school property.
-A broad meeting at the Ministry (Department of the Greek Government) of Macedonia and Thrace under the auspices of the General Secretary of Repatriated Greeks, Christos Kamenidis about ending the Greek students’ occupation of the school.
