As cretalive.gr reports, the students posted a video online showing them squatting around the statue of the Caryatid in the British Museum holding a Greek flag at its base, and then started singing an emotional folk Greek song called “Tzivaeri”.

According to the report, the children held a project called “Your Thoughts on Greece … for tourists in London”, where they asked questions to Museum visitors, including “if they were for the to return of the Parthenon marbles back to Greece”. Many of the visitors were positive to the idea.
