hi from Thessaloniki!

My name is Evi Hatzimitakou, the greek partner. (in facebook the same name)

The city i live is  north-north of Greece, the second big city in Greece-Milka we are very close!

    I meet you, all of you, in a very "strong" sentimental experiences period of my life....but as iam optimist and huppy with everyday beautiful details, here i am for our project!

     I have not at all experience of european projects, it's my first time this project and i will try to be actuall and on time with all functional project process, i feel enough insufficient! 

 The word-challence to take part was "puppet" as i work -except nursry teacher- as puppeteer as well.

    I direct a very small nursery(4 and 5 years old) state school -3 teachers, 43 children, in a small village, 15' min.from the city of Thessaloniki.Our school has never taken part in european programs and 3 of us, teachers, it's our first year in this school.

We started the academic year unpleasantly , as we entered in an after vandalism place, that we had to fix it, to know and love it in order to make it new and loveable for us and the children.Now...is beautifull and is waiting for visitors!!

    Living in London 4 years, where i took my theater and educate methods baggages.

Worked many years in Athens, before work in nursery shcools in Thessaloniki, as o movement  teacher in drama schools and theater projects,director, mime and street performer,puppeteer and theatro-paidagogik-group animator.

    love-and i didit many times-working and collaborating with musicians and painters/artists throuth projects : i studied physical theatre and musik giving priority to the process of the actor and work dynamics and this helped me a lot in educating young people...and me!

    Today, i live alone-i've been married before- in the centre of Salonica

 taking and giving care for friends and family (my mother and two sisters-brother-in law, my teenager niece ) cooking and eating together, walking,reading, watching movies.

     I love travelling and visiting  art galleries, bookstores and antique shops.

I am depented on sweets and discovering creativity in everywhere.

    Love doing Taiji and Jing Gong (chinese martial art and dialogism), dancing with passion,listening to musik-home, concert-places.Two years now i study folk tales, espessialy the greek ones, for the moment.

      Whatever national tale you like, i would be gratefull to read it ...or -why not- to hear it!

Looking forward to meet all of you, knowing each other our culture, working together creatively!
