Introduction

1st Greek Primary School of Munich is located at Hinterbärebadstraße 71–73 in Munich, Germany, and serves children aged 6 to 12. The school offers an international context where Greek language and culture are alongside collaborations. In English language learning, the school organized its first English Spelling Bee for students in the 4th to 6th grades, organized by English teacher Ms. Maria Vlachopoulou, with the aim of establishing the competition as a tradition and expanding to other languages. Performing arts feature prominently, including a 5th and 6th grade choir performance, short theatrical pieces, and traditional dances, with costumes Zipka and Zoupouna bringing Pontic heritage to life. The school participates in eTwinning projects with partner schools from Romania, Italy, Greece, and Germany to highlight Pontic culture. Community events include Sommerfest 2024–25, a police-station visit for graders, and a nutrition education program delivered online by Thessaloniki dietitian, coordinated by PE teacher Athanasia Latsini.
