Event 2014-2015
The action was carried out for the first time in the school year 2014-2015 under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture, Education and Religious Affairs and was attended by students of Gymnasiums and Lyceums in Attica. Throughout the school year, students, with the help of educational and professional actors, directors and composers, set up working groups and were active, according to their interests and potential, in all aspects of a play: Scenario, directing, acting, lyrics, choreography, the production of original sets and costumes, the creation of digital material. As far as the pedagogical dimension is concerned, their involvement with the scientific content and the deepening, after their own encouragement, of the natural concepts for the best stage rendering of the roles is an indicative factor of the usefulness of such actions in the educational process.
Event 2015-2016
After the successful event of the school year 2014-2015, the organizers decided to expand the participation range of the activity so that the next school year schools and from other regions of the country will participate as well. So for the school year 2015-2016 and again under the Ministry of Research Education auspices, two final events were scheduled, one in Athens and one in Thessaloniki and was possible to schools who could not travel to participate in one of the two, to participate in the special category of the Video contest. For the realization of the events venues were selected that promote and relate to research and science: the School of Philosophy of Athens in Athens and the Noesis - Science Center and Technology Museum at Thessaloniki. Overall that year, the action involved 254 students and 21 teachers from 14 different schools of Athens, 144 students with 15 teachers from 9 different schools of Thessaloniki and 92 students with nine teachers from four schools belonging to different regions of Greece

This year, a categorization was made between the evaluation of the Gymnasium and Lyceum participations, and for the first time a "Dissemination and Promotion of the Performance" award was established with the aim of opening schools to their local community, informing and, if possible, engaging agents and citizens. In this spirit, the Athens event was part of the festival "Days of Creative Expression and Science, Open Schools for an Open Society", during which parallel events were hosted, aimed at opening the modern school to society through creative methods of teaching science and communication in an innovative and at the same time multidimensional way.
