This album was made by the pupils and teachers of 6o Geniko Lykeio of Aigaleo for our 4th visit of our Comenius team to Adana, Turkey. The subtopice inquired is "Overcoming the Generation Gap". The video contains photos of family and friends activities that show that there are ways that could lead to the elimination of the great differences that split apart newer and older generations and promote cooperation and mutual respect among members of families and society on a wider level.

kucaklasana/ Kollarına alsana/ Söyle, söyle/ hiç mi beni sevmedin?/.
I have been waiting but you never show up/
Didn’t you feel my love for you?/ You didn’t wipe
my tear/ Didn’t you love me at all?/ Give me a
kiss/ I beg you/ Hug me/ Take me in your hands/
Tell me, Tell me/ Didn’t you love me at all?
Περίμενα μα δεν ήρθες/ Δε γνώριζες την αγάπη μου/ Τo δάκρυ μου δεν το'σβησες/ Δεν
μ' αγάπησες καθόλου;/ Πες μου, πες μου/ Δεν μ' αγάπησες καθόλου;/ Δώσε μου ένα
φιλί/ Σε ικετεύω/ Αγκάλιασε με/ Πάρε με στα χέρια σου/ Πες μου, πες μου/ Δεν μ'
αγάπησες καθόλου;/.
