Olympic Week in Schools - First Modern Olympic Games: 130 years later | 25 - 29 May 2026

International Day of Persons with Disabilities in both hemispheres!

The Coordinator of Greek-language Education in Johannesburg, Mr. George Vlachos, in the context of the World Day of Persons with Disabilities, joined online, Schools from the two hemispheres of the world, the Primary School Lubumbashi L.D Congo, the Primary & Kindergarten of Gavrias Arta and the Primary School of Fourna Evrytania who had the pleasure to meet and talk to the Paralympic swimmer Antonis Tsapatakis, who spoke to them about the strength we have inside us and that we must always try and never give up!

He gave them great advice and urged the students to be sensitive to their neighbour in their daily lives by giving their love. And then he answered their questions.

The Schools had prepared wonderful videos and songs which they dedicated to our Paralympian.
