St. George
is a very famous saint in the Eastern Christian Churches. In Cappadocia
in central Anatolia you will find a lot of very old churches with
fine frescos depicting St. George killing the dragon. Nowadays the
inner sense of these icons may be translated as the killing of the
dangerous beast of environmental pollution (or the beast of misunderstanding
of nations). The
e-Hermes Project will help St. George to keep down both problems
in future times because of training our students to accept
and understand the roots of the problems. In that way I find it
is very important for our students to get in contact with others
to learn and solve problems in a collective way. Being extremely
fast expanding cities, Istanbul and Athens suffer from serious problems
with air-pollution.

Unfortunately,
these problems are frequently neglected by the public and creating
an awareness of their impact on every individual student’s future
is sometimes hard work for teachers. Consequently, I believe in
the importance of measuring and comparing data, and – probably even
more useful – in their interpretation. I expect another important
advantage of the project, which is the contact students are going
to establish with the help of the modern means of communication
provided by the worldwide web.
Thus, I hope the project will be continued and we will have a chance to contribute. Peter Toplack |
