The students of the Neo Iraklion, Galatsi and Egaleo EPAS warmly welcomed the visitors at their schools’ info desks, providing relevant information and, depending on their respective field of study / specialty, offered sweets they had themselves prepared, demonstrated their hairdressing or  goldsmithing/silversmithing skills, etc.

The DYPA schools’ info desks received a constant flow of visitors, who showed keen interest in and duly appreciated the importance of Vocational Education and Training for young people’s career development.
