Neomenioi, a made-up word for children of the new moon, aims at boosting young people into exploring their potential in the world. Our logo suggests just that!
NEOMENIOI (GR)-informal youth group has only recently been formed. Our group experience is almost non-existent although our group leader has previously been involved in Comenius In-Service Trainings for School Staff in the Netherlands, Germany, Malta, Italy, Portugal as well as as a participant in two Youth In Action programmes in Turkey, and recently in a training course in Latvia. We have, shortly but actively, been involved as volunteers in a refugee camp in Methymna (Molyvos) on the island of Lesvos (GR).
Our group name NEOMENIOI derives from the Greek words neo- (=new) and men-(=moon, month) so, in a way, it can freely be translated as the children of the new moon. Our logo suggests that in the sense that the vigorous leap of a young person forms a full moon over a slice of a young moon and at the same time forming a globe.
We are interested in:
a) youth exchange programmes so that young group members can explore and exploit non-formal learning, benefit from and contribute in intercultural contexts, get involved in co-operative activities, expand their perspectives and become better citizens of the world.
b) training courses around Europe to explore, acquaint ourselves with and consolidate NFE principles and practices.
