Following an official invitation from Ionian University and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, our school's project "Rebetiko: Interdisciplinary proposal for the integration of Intangible Cultural Heritage in everyday teaching practice" as well as the UNESCO-European Union pilot project "Teaching & Learning with Living Heritage" focusing on the integration of Intangible Cultural Heritage in school education were presented at the CIOFF® International Festival of Mediterranean Cultures that took place in Corfu from 6 to 10 September 2023, under the auspices of H.M. the President of the Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou.

The first lecture was in English and took place on 6th September (via ZOOM) during the afternoon session of the International Scientific Conference on "Music and Dance in the Mediterranean as intangible cultural heritage and fields of osmosis. Cultural spatialities and historical temporalities”. The International Scientific Conference was organized by the Ionian University and the Greek National Section CIOFF® (International Council of Organizations of Folklore Festivals and Folk Art).
