The Experimental High School of Mytilene of the University of the Aegean sent one of its students in the Summer Camp who was accompanied with 6 students from other schools of Mytilene. The Camp took place from 4-11 of August and the main subject was “Energy meets Geology”.

The goal was to make students exchange ideas and cultures by communicating with one another and making friendships. The Camp was completed with great success and all students had an unforgettable week.
