The Youth Organisation of Cyprus’s aims are to be cognizance of young people’s careers and contribute to introducing new standards for colleges and the mastering method. Its vision focuses on a faculty concentrating on technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics and incorporating fundamental concepts. One is thematic and personalized learning—a school where college students may be happy to go.
Zafirakou teaches artwork at the Alperton School in a stricken region of London.

Q: What are the expenses worried about?
Berry: on the access degree, everybody can enter and live in SL genuinely loose. I even have met more than one commercial enterprise school people exploring SL, which has no cost connected in any respect. To build a website, you must shop for digital land and develop it. Here the fees may be rather low, within the region of one hundred to two hundred Euros, with a monthly rental of 30 euros. At the pinnacle give up of the scale, a full island (in SL, it’s referred to as a ‘sim’) will cost around 1,500 Euros to shop for 120 Euros per month’s ongoing fee. The island then desires to be landscaped and developed with homes and facilities. A customized island build will be priced between five and 20 thousand euros for initial funding. This continues to be quite reasonably priced, approximately the same charge as growing an excellent website. I count on the costs to push over upward the coming years as many businesses flip to virtual environments to reduce their overhead expenses.
Q: What is your personal imaginative and prescient regarding Second Life?
Berry: I am fortunate to have now a middle organization of superb contacts with various knowledge inside SL. I am encouraging establishments to discover this internationally to look at how first-rate they can maximize their learning procedures. So I act from time to time act as an agent, presenting advice and setting ‘explorers’ in contact with the quality developers inside SL so that you can reduce the expenses and maximize the effectiveness of their presence. It saddens me to peer how a few establishments are throwing their money away without knowing what they want to gain. As with any appropriate website, some implications cross beyond the design and gift of the organizational culture, how pleasant to guide clients and college students via the informational seek method, how excellent to leverage SL’s strengths, and so forth.
