Students of Nea Karya Primary School of Greece used a simplified form of De Bono Hats and Brainwriting in order to deal with a historical question that came out through their historical research. In 1946, local people moved from the old location of the village to the new one, as the biggest part of the village was destroyed completely by the flooding of Nestos River. Our "Young Time Travelers of History" traveled back in time, got into those local people shoes and set the following historical question to themselves: "Should we stay in the old location rebuilding our old houses or should we move to a new location?"
Students found this procedure really interesting as it brought into surface various abilities of communication, cooperation, critical and creative thinking that were not triggered before. During this procedure the School Councelor of Primary Schools and the headmasters of the two of the three Greek Schools were present so as the latter to follow the procedure along with their students and strengthen the valuable cooperation among the schools that participated in the programme.
