The 2nd Democracy Workshop was held in cooperation with the University of Patras on 20 October 2022 in Patras with the participation of undergraduate and postgraduate pupils.
In this workshop we worked with historical episodes. We used two videos:
The first one is from the historical archive of the Hellenic Parliament and it's about the arrest of Andreas Papandreou by the Junta in 1967 through the narrative of his son George;
The second is the second part of a documentary on the life of sculptor Memas Kalogiratos entitled “Memories of a lifetime” and the pupils watched it after visiting an exhibition of his works at the Hellenic Diaspora Foundation.
Pupils discuss the heroes' basic needs, when they are met and when they are threatened, what strategies they use to meet them, what the consequences of their choices are, and what they would do if they were in the heroes' shoes.
