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

«Journey to the Body and Movement with Imagination as a Vehicle»: action at the 112th Battle Wing in Elefsina

At the 112 Battle Wing in Elefsina, the National Olympic Academy implemented an integrated experiential activity for pre-school children, with the assistance of the ASAED (Supreme Sports Council of the Armed Forces).

The initiative aimed to highlight sport not only as a physical exercise, but also as a means of socialisation and psycho-emotional development, which can be safely integrated into children's daily lives.

The Olympic rowing champion Nikos Skiathitis, as well as the distinguished athletes and Physical Education teachers Dimitra Yovani (athletics) and Alexandros Yakupovich (tennis) participated in the action.

During the action, the children participated in a variety of creative activities and movement games, which reinforced the spirit of cooperation. Particular emphasis was placed on balance and obstacle games, which contribute to a better knowledge of the body. Each activity was designed to gradually enhance motor skills, spatial awareness and communication between children.
