On Thursday 8 December 2022 in the framework of the International Day of People with Disabilities (3 December 2022) and of the pilot implementation of the new National Curriculum of Physical Education, the P.E. teachers Mr. Sarlas Georgios, Ms. Athanasopoulou Efthymia and Ms. Belte Smaragda took the initiative to organise an informative visit in our school by the Paralympic winner and A? Vice President of the Hellenic Paralympic Committee Mr. Athanasios Tsivilis, accompanied by Ms. Giota Leveti, on behalf of the Hellenic Paralympic Committee.
The aim of this initiative was to inform and sensitize students about the abilities and the right of disabled people to the full participation in social activities, their equal access to education, to sports, to sports? venues, etc. The exceptional approach of Mr. Tsivilis regarding the development of respect, inclusion, acceptance of diversity and the fight against any kind of discrimination and exclusion enthused us with his ?hug?, opening a dialogue, which encouraged and answered questions to an excellent degree.
We deeply thank Mr. Tsivilis and Ms. Leveti for their exceptional approach, as well as for their proposal for a second visit to discuss with the C? Class students.
