The first babies to ever watch the show are now young children. They can walk, talk and run. In the meantime, more babies came into this world and the team behind "I am hatching" are ready to welcome on the orange carpet and the fluffy cushions that’s going to be the kicking off for a fifth year on the stage of Avaton theatre, on Saturday, October 12.

 

On this show the viewers breastfeed, maybe they haven’t even said their first word or they can’t stand on their own. However, they can listen, touch, feel, express joy and discontent without a second thought. They are the most demanding audience of this world! They worth giving everything to please them. That’s what the team of " I am hatching " are planning to do for a fifth year, with some old and new collaborators, through a specially designed show for infants from 4 to 18 months.

This really young audience will travel in a fairytale land with Lefteris’s invaluable help and the newborn pigeon that flutters its wings for the first time, ready to explore and find happiness and love.

The show will last forty-five minutes during which babies and parents will share a unique interactive experience. The experienced performers create a safe environment for the babies by employing precise visual stimulus such as shapes, sounds, music, colors and of course movement, so they can entertain the young audience and also stimulate their senses. Increasing their attention, stimulating their imagination, helping them to interact with the environment and with their new “home” that is incredibly magical and definitely more complex than the belly of their mother.

The Municipality of Trikala has recently got the first school canteen where snacks are nutrient-rich and their ingredients sourced from small local producers.

 

The canteen at the 6th Primary School of Trikala aims to pave the way for better nutritional habits–inside and out of the schools–by encouraging the use of local organic food products.

 

The Deputy Mayor of Trikala, Mr. Akis Anastasiou, said that joining the 'BioCanteens: Sustainable School Meals For Green And Healthy Local Food Systems' program is both great for our children's nutrition and local economies.

 

It is worth noting that at the same school food waste will be turned into electricity that will cover part of the energy needs of the school. According to Mr. Anastasiou, the food that would otherwise go to waste will end up in a small energy production plant. There, with a safe and odor-free process, it will be turned into the energy required to illuminate the school's surroundings!

 

Once more, the pioneering town of Trikala, embarks on a remarkable journey towards better nutritional and environmental practices and the municipality officials aim to integrate the program to every school in the town.
