This paper is a case study that sets out to explore the extent to which the local residents of the region of Northern Karpathos and Saria in the southeast corner of the Aegean have positive attitudes and perceptions towards ecotourism ventures for sustainable development. The area is included in the European Ecological Network Natura 2000 and was chosen for studying since it constitutes an ideal location for the promotion of soft and alternative forms of tourism. The investigation of the attitudes of the inhabitants of the Community of Olympos, in Northern Karpathos was carried out using as research tool a questionnaire that was drawn up specifically for the needs of the present work. The attempt to provide a systematic way of studying the inhabitants' attitudes led to the proposition of a framework that contains the necessary conditions for sustainable ecotourism development. This is based on three fundamental factors, namely: (a) environmental conservation, (b) environmental education and (c) empowerment of local community. The main conclusion drawn was that the perceptions of the local people accord with the basic principles of ecotourism. Residents (a) showed a high degree of awareness and sensitivity regarding environmental conservation issues in the area, (b) recognised the need for environmental education concerning ecotourism activities and (c) had a favourable attitude towards the implementation of initiatives in the ecotourism field aimed at their empowerment and at promoting sustainable development in the area. The participants' place of permanent residence and level of education appeared to influence significantly their perceptions of this alternative form of tourism.

The educational role and social contribution of the Museums are achieved by increasing their communication with each social group and their extroversion cultural roles. Τhey can also offer exchanges of experiences by encouraging students' audience. Because of the general world upheavals, the social contribution of the Museums has changed. The goal of this study is to appoint the students' views of a virtual educational Popular Culture Museum. In this context, a research in the third grade of junior High school in Ialyssos, Rhodes, was carried out during the school year 2012-2013. After participating in a school project concerning a construction of an educational virtual Museum, one hundred (100) students took part in the research and answered a questionnaire before and after the teaching intervention. In order to extract the research results, we used statistics software SPSS v.17 and SPAD v. 4.5, offered by the Department Education in the University of the Aegean.

Culture and Education are two concepts intertwined together as, through Education, formal and informal, forms and elements of Culture are developed. Education is therefore one of the most important factors of enhancement, promotion and preservation of cultural heritage through the development of appropriate educational "spaces" directed to different social groups. The research took place in Greece over the Academic year 2013-14 and it was carried out nationally aiming students' depiction of views and attitudes on the use of a virtual educational Museum. The total number of respondents nationwide was 22902 students of first, second and third grade of High School. Keywords: virtual museum, educational implications and applicationsThe goals of the research were:  To determine whether the educational virtual museum can contribute to an interdisciplinary approach to the subjects taught secondary education and particularly in high school.  To test students' knowledge at the level of folk Art and Culture. Carry out a correlation of their estimates, with demographic data and the level of education of their parents.

The goal of this study was to appoint students' views on the lesson, "Art Education and Creations of Artistic forms". In this context, a research was carried out at the University of the Aegean, DepArtment of Primary Education during the first semester of 2013-2014. The lectures included pArt from the basic knowledge, students' involving in Artistic activities and exercises in Traditional Art. Most of the activities were designed to promote Cultural Heritage through Art and the final work was for them to create training manual to be used by students of Primary Education, in order to learn about the local Cultural Heritage. The questionnaire was answered by 149 students pArticipated in the research before and after the lectures and Artistic works they had to carry out. In order to extract the research results, we used statistical software SPSS v.17 offered by the School of Humanities of the University of the Aegean. The analysis showed that most of the students are positive towards following the specific course at the University and believe that it promotes Cultural Heritage and in combine with the economic, social, cultural and sustained development of the country.

In this article we present the results of a survey, which studied the views of 21,040 high school students from all around Greece, regarding the assessment of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the teaching of Art. The results were processed using Multidimensional Statistic Data Analysis, on the axis of dividing the students’ sample in 5 groups, in regard to their positive or negative views on using Technology in Art. Besides the fact that the vast majority of the student sample (87.04%) appears to be familiar with ICT, there was a differentiation in answers among the student groups. It is especially interesting that in questions regarding the influence of Technology on modern Art and the consequent appearance of new Art forms, 50.00% and 65.59% of the students, respectively, gave positive answers. In general, the survey’s results confirmed the hypothesis of a positive attitude of students towards using Technology in Art education.
