In the 1st place of the category “Best Paralympic Videos of Secondary & High Schools”, along with Anavryta Model Secondary School, was awarded a prize to our school, on Thursday 8 February 2024, in the award ceremony for the schools of primary and secondary education that participated in the Paralympic festival “Par-OLYMPIA” and took part in the competition “School Sports and Inclusion”. More than 100 schools from the whole Greece participated in the Festival of Paralympic Sports that took place on the 3rd October 2023 in the framework of the European programme Par-OLYMPIA, and then participated in the competitions of Paralympic Video, Paralympic Painting/Poster and Paralympic Knowledge.
The award ceremony was held in the Ministry of Education, Religious Affairs and Sports, with the collaboration of the Hellenic Paralympic Committee, in the presence of students from the award-winning schools from all over Greece.
Our school won an award for the video “We wore your shoes” (https://drive.google.com/file/d/12hea8MzonBxTkWjFzB-ew2WwH4MlTq8y/view?usp=drive_web ), showing in practice that concepts like respect in diversity and human rights, knowledge acquisition and empathy for disabled people and sports are high in our education priorities. We achieved that through the creation of a video (with 3-minute duration) on the topic of the teaching of Paralympic sports in 4 teaching sessions, in the subject of Physical Education, in the last school year. The video editing was done by the B’ class student Georgios Tsolakis and we warmly thank him for his creation.
