>Workshop "Algae and Environment in Education"
>A parallel activity is organized by the Hellenic Phycological Society in 
>the frames of the <http://www.epcv.gr/>EPC5. This is a conference and 
>workshop entitled Algae and environment in education. During this event, 
>students of primary and secondary schools supervised by their teachers 
>will present their works in the field of phycology. These works will be 
>prepared under the supervision and help of the teachers and a special 
>committee established by HEL.P.S. The workshop will take place on 
>Wednesday, 7 and Thursday, 8 of September in Rodos Palace Hotel and the 
>Hydrobiological Station of Rhodes (a branch of 
><http://www.hcmr.gr/>Hellenic Marine Research Station). For information 
>about this workshop press <http://environmental.phycology.gr/>here.
