The Olympic rowing champion Vassilis Polymeros, after presenting his sport, had an extremely multi-level conversation with the students, “passing on” important messages both for sport and for their lives.
During the three days that followed, the students, through sports activities and interactive workshops, experienced the principles of Olympism, which are the building blocks that improve people's relationships, especially nowadays. On the third day there was a short link to the online programme of the “4th Olympic Week on the road to Paris 2024”, during the speech of the gold medallist Nassos Gavelas and the presentation of the book FIVE CYCLES - NONE WORLD published by ETHNOA for the visually impaired.
