Students and teachers of the 5th high school of Kavala in eastern Macedonia hung a 15-meter-long knitted scarf representing flags of EU member-states at their local city hall on Monday to mark Europe Day, celebrated on May 9.
The scarf, which was knitted by the students’ mothers, was made up of individual parts representing the flags of each member-states, which were then knitted together. The students, who participate in the European program “Ambassadors of the European parliament”, showed the scarf in the presence of local officials as the anthem of the European Union (Beethoven’s Ode to Joy) played in the background.
The mayor of the city, Dimitra Tsanana, and the Head of the secondary schools of regional unity Apostolos Vagenas congratulated students for their message of cooperation and solidarity among the nations of the united Europe.
The scarf will remain hung outside the city hall until Tuesday afternoon.
